Indonesia’s Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has detained former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah after naming him a suspect in an alleged money laundering (TPPU) investigation.
The detention was announced by Rudi Margono, the Junior Attorney General for Supervision (Jamwas) and coordinator of the AGO’s Team 9, during a press briefing at the Attorney General’s Office headquarters in Jakarta on Friday (July 24, 2026).
According to Rudi, Febrie will remain in custody for an initial 20-day detention period at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Detention Center in East Jakarta while investigators continue the legal process.
Detention Based on Security Considerations
Rudi explained that the decision to place Febrie in the KPK detention facility was made for security reasons, noting that the former prosecutor had previously handled a number of high-profile corruption cases.
He added that the arrangement also reflects ongoing cooperation between the Attorney General’s Office and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to ensure transparency, accountability, and the integrity of the investigation.
Named as a Suspect After Lengthy Questioning
Febrie Adriansyah was officially designated as a suspect after undergoing approximately 10 hours of questioning by investigators from Team 9.
The investigation follows the issuance of a new investigation order (Sprindik) numbered Print-03/F.2/Fd.2/07/2026, dated July 20, 2026, focusing on alleged money laundering offenses.
According to the Attorney General’s Office, the new investigation was initiated after receiving case files and evidence transferred by the Indonesian National Police (Polri).
Gold and Foreign Currency Among Evidence
The transferred evidence reportedly includes 74 kilograms of gold and foreign currency worth hundreds of billions of rupiah, which investigators will examine as part of the alleged money laundering scheme.
In addition to the money laundering investigation involving Febrie Adriansyah, the Attorney General’s Office has also issued three other investigation orders following the transfer of cases from the National Police.
These include investigations into alleged corruption and money laundering involving PT KNI, alleged corruption in coal governance linked to power plant operations and nationwide electricity disruptions, and an alleged corruption and money laundering case related to PT Asabri.
The Attorney General’s Office stated that the expanded investigations demonstrate strengthened cooperation between Indonesia’s law enforcement agencies in handling major corruption and financial crime cases. The legal process is ongoing, and investigators are expected to continue gathering evidence as the case proceeds.
