Police Urged to Thoroughly Investigate Money Trail in Febrie Adriansyah Case

The National Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipikor) has officially named former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (JAM-Pidsus) Febrie Adriansyah (FA) a suspect. Febrie has been charged in connection with alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU). Kortas Tipikor Chief Inspector General Totok Suharyanto stated that the suspect status was determined after the investigative team conducted an intensive case review. “We have also named FA a suspect in a corruption and/or money laundering case related to legal proceedings by civil servants or state officials in the PT Asabri case and/or other corruption cases,” Totok said at the Attorney General’s Office Complex on Saturday (11/7). In addition to Febrie, the police also named a private party with the initials DR as a suspect. In a joint investigation with the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Metro Jaya Regional Police, the team seized a number of pieces of evidence from Febrie’s residence in Sentul, Bogor, West Java. The evidence secured includes 74 kilograms of gold bars, Rp100 million in cash, and a sum of foreign currency in US and Singapore dollars. Secretary General of Sahabat Presisi Rendy Kurniawan assessed that the investigators’ courage represents a concrete step in maintaining the integrity of law enforcement in Indonesia. “We give the highest appreciation to Kortas Tipikor Polri and Polda Metro Jaya for their professional and courageous step in naming these suspects, two thumbs up for the police,” said Rendy on Sunday (12/7). However, Rendy stressed that this appreciation is accompanied by a demand that investigators not stop merely at naming FA and DR as suspects. He urged the police to investigate this case thoroughly to its roots. “We encourage the Police to investigate this case completely without discrimination. All money flows and parties involved must be disclosed to the public transparently.” He added that this is crucial to ensure law enforcement remains objective, fair, and capable of restoring public trust in law enforcement institutions.
