The National Police (Polri) are still investigating alleged corruption cases involving coal, ASABRI and Krakatau Steel, which have led to searches at a number of locations. Police have also commented on the possibility of questioning the Attorney General’s Deputy for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) at the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung), Febrie Adriansyah, in connection with these cases.

“As the process continues — this is still ongoing technically and substantively, with teams continuing to work — we will inform our colleagues about when summonses will be issued, including developments in the cases being handled,” said the Head of Public Relations at Metro Jaya Regional Police, Kombes Budi Hermanto, at a press conference on Friday (10/7/2026).

Budi said police would announce the suspects in the case in the near future, although he could not say exactly when the announcement would be made.

“Not tonight, but we will announce in the near future the suspects in the cases handled by the joint investigation by Kortas and Metro Jaya Regional Police,” Budi said.

Budi stated that all parties in government support anti-corruption efforts, stressing that the move is in line with instructions from President Prabowo Subianto.

“We are confident that all ministries and agencies will certainly support the eradication of corruption. This is especially so as it is a priority programme of the President. We guarantee this will proceed in synergy and collaboration to resolve these corruption cases,” he explained.

The National Police’s Anti-Corruption Task Force (Kortastipidkor) previously carried out searches at a number of locations on Wednesday (8/7) linked to three alleged corruption cases. Among the locations searched were a money changer and the de’Clan Signature cafe in the Cipete area of South Jakarta, as well as a house in the Bogor area of West Java.

Police seized various pieces of evidence during the searches, ranging from gold bars to foreign currency worth billions of rupiah.

The series of searches relates to three alleged corruption cases. The Head of Kortastipidkor at Polri, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, said the investigations are being handled jointly by the Special Crimes Directorate of Metro Jaya Regional Police.

He said the cases involve alleged corruption in coal procurement that triggered a blackout, the ASABRI case, and the settlement of debts owed by PT CBS to PT KNI, a subsidiary of the state-owned steelmaker Krakatau Steel.

Most recently, police searched a shophouse in Cipete, South Jakarta. Investigators emerged one by one from the building carrying various items of evidence, including a large suitcase, a yellow handbag and a computer monitor.

The Jampidsus of the Attorney General’s Office, Febrie Adriansyah, also spoke earlier today regarding the discovery of cash during searches at the de’Clan cafe in Cipete, South Jakarta, and a private house in Sentul, Bogor. Febrie said he has no connection to the business in question.

“Regarding these media reports, we await the results of the investigation, and once again I can clarify that the Jampidsus has no involvement in the business that has been reported on social media, as in Cipete,” Febrie said at a press conference at the Attorney General’s Office headquarters in South Jakarta.

Febrie acknowledged that the house searched in Sentul belongs to him.

“Secondly, regarding the Sentul house, it is indeed the Jampidsus’s private residence and has been for a long time. This can be seen from how the ownership has been held from the start,” Febrie said.

Regarding the discovery of cash in rupiah, US dollars and Singapore dollars at his Sentul house, Febrie said only that the assets certainly have an owner, and he left it to police to investigate.

“Secondly, to make things clear for the public and everyone, the money found at the Sentul house has an owner and there is activity behind it — the people involved can be questioned, and the buildings there can be checked,” he said.

Febrie insisted he would not provide further explanation about the cash assets during the press conference, saying this would be clarified in accordance with criminal procedure law.

“(Regarding the house in Sentul) there are also several buildings that can be checked, and we are confident everything can be properly accounted for. But certainly not through a forum like this — rather through proceedings that follow proper legal procedure,” he said.
