Team 9 Questions Febrie Today in Money Laundering Case Linked to Asabri-Jiwasraya

Team 9 of the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has again questioned former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, as a suspect on Tuesday (8/9).

Febrie’s lawyer, Febri Diansyah, said his client was being questioned in connection with a money laundering offence (TPPU) in the handling of the PT Asabri and PT Jiwasraya cases.

“He is being questioned as a suspect in the investigation into alleged corruption and alleged money laundering in the legal handling process by state officials or state administrators in the PT Asabri and/or PT Asuransi Jiwasraya cases,” he told reporters.

Febri expressed surprise, as the summons for questioning as a suspect was issued on the basis of a suspect designation by another agency and a pre-trial ruling.

“Nevertheless, FA will be cooperative and will respect law enforcement by attending this questioning,” he concluded.

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

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

The head of Team 9, who also serves as Deputy Attorney General for Supervisory Crimes, Rudi Margono, said the alleged money laundering was committed by Febrie in his capacity as a prosecutor or structural official during his time at the Attorney General’s Office.

Meanwhile, Febrie has filed two pre-trial lawsuits at the South Jakarta District Court related to this case. However, both were rejected by the single judge of the South Jakarta District Court’s pre-trial division.
