Police say Febrie Adriansyah named suspect based on two pieces of evidence

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Police have stated that the naming of former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect was based on two pieces of evidence. Previously, police had obtained more than two valid pieces of evidence in the alleged money laundering case involving Febrie.

“Based on the results of examinations of witnesses, experts, and supported by documentary evidence, the Respondents conducted a follow-up case review on 10 July 2026 at the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation of Polda Metro Jaya, led by the Head of the Corruption Crime Eradication Corps of the Indonesian National Police, with the result that more than two pieces of evidence had been fulfilled, namely witness testimony, expert testimony, documentary evidence, and the correspondence between witness testimony, expert testimony, and documents, so that the Petitioner could be elevated to suspect status,” said the respondent’s representative, Head of Legal Affairs of Polda Metro Jaya, Senior Commissioner Abrianto Pardede, during the respondent’s answer hearing at the South Jakarta District Court on Wednesday.

When reading out their answer, Respondent I Polda Metro Jaya and Respondent II the Corruption Crime Eradication Corps of the Indonesian National Police stated that the naming of Febrie as a suspect was carried out based on the examination of 16 witnesses, three experts, and evidence as well as documentary evidence pursuant to Seizure Order SP.Sita/2931/VII/RES.3.3/2026/Polda Metro Jaya dated 6 July 2026. Prior to Febrie being named a suspect, the Indonesian National Police had found more than two valid pieces of evidence in accordance with the results of the case review.

“The alleged corruption is related to the legal handling of the PT ASABRI and/or PT Asuransi Jiwasraya cases allegedly carried out by state officials or state administrators within the jurisdiction of Polda Metro Jaya during the period 2020 to 2025,” said Abrianto.

“Based on the results of the investigation, there is also an allegation that the Petitioner committed money laundering over assets known or reasonably suspected to originate from corruption, and/or other corruption offences by carrying out certain acts against assets originating from criminal proceeds with the aim of concealing or disguising the origin of the assets,” Abrianto stated.

Therefore, in their answer, the police stated that the naming of Febrie as a suspect had been carried out through a lawful investigation and inquiry process.

“Based on the evidence obtained during the investigation, the alleged criminal act was committed by the Petitioner with a series of facts and modus operandi as follows, deemed to have been read out,” Abrianto added.

As is known, in his petition, Febrie’s camp challenged Investigation Order Number Sp.Did/2932/VII/RES.3.3/2026/Polda Metro Jaya dated 6 July 2026. The order was deemed invalid, legally flawed, and null and void.

Febrie also challenged Search Order Number Sp.Gled/3006/VII/RES.3.3/2026/Polda Metro Jaya. The search was conducted at Febrie’s family home in the Sentul area, Parahyangan Golf 2 Cluster, Babakan Madang District, Bogor Regency, West Java.

Febrie Adriansyah’s first pre-trial motion is registered under case number 134/Pid.Pra/2026/PN.JKT.SEL. The sole judge in the hearing is Richard Edwin Basoeki.
