The Metro Jaya Regional Police have disclosed the results of laboratory and physical verification tests on evidence, including cash and tens of kilograms of gold bars, in the case of alleged corruption and money laundering involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah. Head of Public Relations for the Metro Jaya Police, Commissioner Budi Hermanto, confirmed that the series of physical and laboratory examinations involved national financial authorities and the United States Secret Service. Based on official test results received in stages up to Friday (17/7), evidence comprising 71,102 notes of Rupiah currency with a total nominal value of Rp6,059,506,200 was declared authentic by Bank Indonesia via official letter Number 28/8/BPU dated 14 July 2026. Furthermore, 74 gold bars with a total weight of 74.01 kilograms were confirmed to have a purity of 23 carats based on an examination report from PT Pegadaian (Persero) Number 271/00016.002006 dated 14 July 2026. For foreign currency, cash amounting to US$6,370,921 was declared legal and authentic by the United States Secret Service through an official letter dated 16 July 2026. Meanwhile, evidence in the form of S$16,068,804 in cash was also declared authentic based on the Criminalistics Laboratory Examination Report of the National Police Forensic Centre Number LAB 4675/DUF 2026 dated 17 July 2026. Commissioner Budi explained that the detailed laboratory announcement was made to the public as a form of transparency and accountability in the cooperation between the Police and the Adhyaksa Corps in handling the corruption case. ‘This is also a form of transparency between the Attorney General’s Office and the Police, as well as synergy and collaboration to jointly convey that the results of the follow-up case handover carried out today mean that the duties, authority, and responsibilities of the joint investigation team have been officially transferred to the Attorney General’s Office,’ Budi said at the Attorney General’s Office on Friday (17/7). Budi stated that with the completion of the forensic tests and the handover of all evidence worth hundreds of billions of rupiah, the continuation of the case process now lies entirely with the Attorney General’s Office. The Attorney General’s Office has issued three new investigation orders related to the alleged corruption and money laundering case. In this case, private party Don Ritto and former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah have been named as suspects. Head of the Legal Information Centre at the Attorney General’s Office, Anang Supriatna, explained that the issuance of the three new investigation orders is a follow-up to the transfer of case files previously handled by the Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps and the Metro Jaya Regional Police’s Special Criminal Investigation Directorate. The three major case clusters now ensnaring the former Jampidsus include alleged corruption and money laundering at PT Krakatau Steel, a coal procurement case for a PLN steam power plant that previously caused a mass blackout, and a corruption and money laundering case related to financial management at PT ASABRI.
