Prosecutor Febrie Adriansyah Suspended After Being Named Money Laundering Suspect

The status of prosecutor Febrie Adriansyah, former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, has been temporarily revoked by Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin.

Head of the Attorney General’s Office Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna, said the suspension was carried out whilst awaiting the money laundering (TPPU) case ensnaring Febrie being declared final and legally binding (inkracht) by the court.

“It is true that FA [Febrie] has currently been temporarily dismissed whilst awaiting a legally binding verdict, or inkracht,” he told reporters on Tuesday (3/8).

Anang explained that the Attorney General has not yet proposed a full dismissal of Febrie to the President, as the court proceedings must first be concluded.

Furthermore, he said the temporary dismissal was submitted following a report from Team 9 regarding Febrie’s status as a suspect. Anang added that the temporary dismissal took effect from 31 July.

“It was the Attorney General who dismissed him. The mechanism was based on a report from Team 9 concerning the individual concerned as a suspect. (Temporarily dismissed) as of 31 July 2026,” he said.

The Attorney General’s Office has named former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect in a money laundering case related to the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and Rp543 billion in cash at a house in Sentul.

Most recently, the Attorney General’s Office also named two private individuals, Nurman Herin (NH) and lawyer Don Ritto (DR), as suspects for their involvement in the money laundering case alongside Febrie.

Chairman of Team 9 and Deputy Attorney General for Supervisory Prosecution, Rudi Margono, said the alleged money laundering was committed by Febrie whilst serving as a prosecutor or structural official at the Attorney General’s Office.
