TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) detained former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, for his alleged involvement in corruption and money laundering practices at PT Asabri. He was detained after AGO Team 9 probed him on Friday, July 24, 2026.
AGO investigators detained Febrie at the detention center of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in South Jakarta. According to Tempo, Febrie arrived at the KPK detention center at 11:22 p.m. Jakarta time on a green AGO detention vehicle.
Febrie was not wearing a pink detention vest while exiting the vehicle, and was instead donning a gray long-sleeved batik. He did not appear to be handcuffed.
When asked why, Febrie only said, "Oh, of course not," to media crew as he entered the KPK detention center.
AGO has issued a new Letter of Investigation to investigate the alleged money laundering scheme involving Febrie Adriansyah.
Anang Supriatna, the head of the legal information center at the AGO, said on Thursday that it is registered under No. Print-03/F.2/Fd.2/07/2026 dated July 20, 2026.
The investigation order concerned the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and foreign banknotes worth hundreds of billions of rupiah at Febrie's house in Sentul, Bogor.
AGO has issued four Letters of Investigation in Febrie's handling, including one concerning alleged corruption and money laundering at PT Krakatau Steel, alleged corruption in coal supply for power plants, alleged corruption at PT Asabri, and the recent one concerning alleged money laundering.
AGO has named Febrie as a suspect in the case of alleged corruption at PT Asabri. The investigators charge Febrie with Article 12 letter e and Article 12B of the Corruption Law, as well as Article 3 and Article 4 of the Anti-Money Laundering Law in conjunction with Article 607 paragraph (1) letters a and b of the Criminal Code.
