Seven Companies Utilised Don Ritto's Services to Handle Cases at Attorney General's Office

Team 9 of the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has interrogated a total of seven companies suspected of being involved in the money laundering case involving 74 kilograms of gold and Rp543 billion in cash belonging to Febrie Adriansyah.

The Chairman of Team 9 and Junior Attorney General for Supervision, Rudi Margono, stated that the seven companies under investigation allegedly utilised the law firm of suspect Don Ritto to manage legal matters at the Attorney General’s Office. He identified the companies as PT Waskita Beton, PT Argo Jaya, PT Intisumber Bajasakti, PT Perwira Adhitama Sejati, PT Jasa Marga, LPEI, and PT Bandung Indah Gemilang.

“From the developments in the case handling, the companies examined are strongly suspected of using services related to the handling of cases within the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes division,” he said during a press conference on Thursday.

Rudi added that Team 9 has interrogated a total of 24 witnesses in the alleged corruption case involving the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes. The witnesses range from National Police investigators and private parties to several companies that are suspected to have been victims.

Previously, the Attorney General’s Office named the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, as a suspect in a money laundering case following the discovery of 74kg of gold and Rp543 billion in cash at a residence in Sentul. Recently, the Attorney General’s Office also named a private individual, Nurman Herin (NH), as a suspect for his alleged involvement in the money laundering scheme alongside Febrie.

Rudi Margono noted that the alleged money laundering was carried out by Febrie in his capacity as a prosecutor or structural official during his tenure at the Attorney General’s Office. Furthermore, Febrie is implicated in three other cases at the Attorney General’s Office: an alleged corruption case involving PT Krakatau Steel, an alleged corruption case regarding coal procurement for PLN power plants that led to a blackout, and a case involving alleged corruption in the PT ASABRI matter, where Febrie has also been named a suspect alongside private individual Don Ritto.
