Police to Involve FBI in Verifying US Dollar Authenticity in Former Jampidsus Case

The Indonesian National Police plans to involve the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to examine evidence in the corruption and money laundering case implicating former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah. This step is necessary because the seized evidence includes cash in various currencies, including US dollars.

Head of Public Relations for the Metro Jaya Regional Police, Senior Commissioner Budi Hermanto, stated that the authorities have confiscated a range of evidence in the case. In addition to 74 gold bars, each weighing one kilogramme, the police also seized cash in multiple foreign currencies.

“Later, tests will be conducted on the Singapore dollars and US dollars, involving the FBI and the US Embassy, as well as the Singapore Embassy and Bank Indonesia,” he said at Metro Jaya Police headquarters on Monday (13/7/2026).

Furthermore, the police are engaging state-owned pawnbroker PT Pegadaian to test the dozens of seized gold bars. The gold will be examined in a laboratory to verify its authenticity and quality classification.

“Our colleagues from Pegadaian’s head office have conveyed that the results from these 74 bars will be presented to everyone later,” he added.

Budi Hermanto explained that this testing is a necessary process before the evidence is transferred to the Attorney General’s Office. The subsequent handling of the case has been delegated to the Attorney General’s Office for further proceedings.
