Witness in Former Jampidsus Money Laundering Case Requests LPSK Protection
The Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) is currently reviewing a protection application submitted by a witness, identified by the initials FH, in the alleged money laundering case involving the former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah. The application is currently in the assessment stage to determine the specific type of protection required.
LPSK Chairman Achmadi stated that the agency has received the protection request from FH. He noted that LPSK is currently examining several aspects before deciding whether to grant protection to the applicant.
“Regarding witness FH, LPSK has received a request for protection. It is currently in the review and assessment process, including evaluating the significance of the testimony and potential threats, and/or whether the applicant is in a special situation, to determine the necessary protection,” Achmadi said in a written statement on Friday.
Achmadi explained that since the initial disclosure of the alleged money laundering case involving the former Jampidsus—when the investigation was still under the Indonesian National Police—LPSK has maintained coordination with law enforcement agencies. Following the transfer of the case to the Attorney General’s Office, this coordination has continued.
He also expressed appreciation for the law enforcement actions taken by the Attorney General’s Office in investigating the case.
According to Achmadi, providing protection to witnesses and victims is a mandate regulated by law. He cited Article 53, paragraph (4) of Law Number 8 of 2025 regarding the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), which mandates that protection be carried out by institutions tasked with the protection of witnesses and victims.
Consequently, every incoming application undergoes a review and assessment process to identify the level of threat or special circumstances faced by the applicant. The results of this assessment will serve as the basis for determining the form of protection provided in accordance with the provisions of Law Number 3 of 2026 regarding the Protection of Witnesses and Victims.
“LPSK is ready to provide support to law enforcement agencies in the interest of uncovering the alleged corruption and money laundering case involving the former Jampidsus, in accordance with the duties, functions, and authority mandated by law,” Achmadi added.
The investigation into the alleged corruption and money laundering involving the former Jampidsus is still being developed by the Attorney General’s Office. Investigators have previously named several suspects in the case and are continuing to trace the alleged flow of funds and other parties suspected of involvement.
