Attorney General's Office denies Rp40 billion bribery allegations

The Indonesian Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) has denied allegations that four of its officials received Rp40 billion from businessman Tan Kian, labeling the claims as mere assumptions. Anang Supriatna, Head of the Legal Information Center at Kejagung, stated that there is currently no concrete evidence to support these claims and urged the public to await the facts that will emerge during court proceedings.

The allegations surfaced during a pretrial hearing involving former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah. Adriansyah's legal counsel, Febri Diansyah, has explicitly denied that his client received any such funds and argued that no money laundering occurred.

According to the defense, Tan Kian's interrogation records (BAP) do not explicitly name Adriansyah as a recipient. Instead, the records suggest Tan Kian used speculative language, stating it “could be” that the money was intended for four officials. The defense further noted that Tan Kian indicated the funds were handed to Ferry Hongkiriwang, also known as Ferry Boboho, and expressed uncertainty regarding the final destination of the money.
