(Jakarta, 12th) – Indonesia’s Deputy Attorney General Febrie has become embroiled in a corruption and money laundering case. Although he insists on his innocence, he has submitted his resignation due to being in the media spotlight, in order to facilitate the police investigation.
The spokesperson for the Indonesian Attorney General's Office, Anang, confirmed on Saturday (July 11) that Attorney General Burhanuddin has accepted Febrie Adriansyah’s resignation. Anang emphasized that this move was intended to ensure the integrity, objectivity, and neutrality of the police investigation.
Last week, Indonesian police launched an investigation into a corruption and money laundering case involving several state-owned enterprises, conducting raids at multiple locations, including Febrie’s residence. Police seized cash totaling over US$26 million (approximately RM105.82 million) in various currencies and 74 kilograms of gold bars at twelve locations.
Jakarta Police Headquarters spokesperson Budi told reporters late Friday night (10th) that investigators found 476 billion rupiah (approximately RM16.48 million) in cash and 74 kilograms of gold bars at a residence in Sentul city, a suburb of Jakarta.
Febrie admitted that the house belonged to him but refused to elaborate on the cash and gold bars, only stressing that all of his assets can be accounted for. He also denied any wrongdoing.
Febrie is a well-known prosecutor in Indonesia and has been responsible for investigating and prosecuting several high-profile corruption cases, including the case involving senior officials from the National Nutrition Agency in the school free meal program, and the corruption case concerning the former Minister of Education, Nadiem, related to the procurement of laptops.
The police have yet to disclose details of the corruption case in which Febrie is implicated, nor have they announced specific charges against him.
According to Indonesian media reports, police are investigating three cases, including corruption and money laundering activities allegedly related to coal procurement by the state-owned electricity company PLN. These cases all involve the Attorney General’s Office and relevant officials.
