Suspect Don Ritto Still Detained by Metro Jaya Police, Not Yet Transferred to AGO

Suspect Don Ritto (DR), implicated in three cases of alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU), remains detained at Polda Metro Jaya and has not yet been transferred to the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung).

“Not yet, because the files are still being prepared,” said Polda Metro Jaya Head of Public Relations, Senior Commissioner Budi Hermanto, when confirmed on Tuesday afternoon.

Nevertheless, Budi stated that his party will transfer Don Ritto, the case files, and the evidence to the AGO this week. He said the transfer will be carried out in stages. “In stages this week, the case files, evidence, and the suspect,” he said.

Previously, joint investigators from the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Task Force (Kortastipidkor) and the Metro Jaya Police’s Special Criminal Investigation Directorate named two suspects in the alleged corruption and money laundering case. The two are former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah (FA) and private party Don Ritto.

Head of Kortastipidkor, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, explained that during the investigation, investigators examined 15 witnesses and two experts. In addition, investigators also conducted searches at several locations that were previously known to the public.

“At one point, we conducted a case review. Based on that case review, we named two suspects, namely DR, who is suspected of committing money laundering originating from corruption,” he said.

According to Totok, suspect DR is charged under Article 4 and/or Article 5 in conjunction with Article 10 of Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering, or Article 607 paragraph (1) letters b and c of the Criminal Code. “DR has been detained since 10 July 2026 and is currently being held at the Polda Metro Jaya Detention Centre,” he said.

Meanwhile, suspect Febrie is suspected of involvement in alleged corruption and/or money laundering in the legal handling of state officials in the PT Asabri case and other corruption cases. “We have also named FA as a suspect in the alleged corruption and/or money laundering case in the legal handling by civil servants or state officials in the PT Asabri case and/or other corruption cases,” he said.

For his actions, Febrie is suspected of violating provisions in the Corruption Eradication Law and the TPPU Law. The handling of these three cases has now been transferred to the AGO. Totok said the transfer of the case is the result of an agreement between the National Police and the AGO as a form of synergy in handling cases.
