Febrie Adriansyah challenges suspect status in pretrial hearing
Former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, is undergoing a pretrial hearing at the South Jakarta District Court to challenge his status as a suspect in a suspected money laundering case.
His legal team is contesting the legality of his designation as a suspect and his detention. They have specifically questioned the legal basis for 'trading in influence' charges, arguing it is not explicitly regulated in Indonesian national law. Furthermore, the defense has challenged the validity of a search conducted at his residence in Sentul, claiming it was performed without a proper court permit.
While some reports suggested a request for the return of 74 kg of gold and hundreds of billions of rupiah, his lawyers clarified that the primary request for the return of seized items focuses on personal documents and family photographs that are unrelated to the legal proceedings.
In response, Polri and the Polda Metro Jaya have requested the judge to reject the pretrial motion. They argue that the defense's arguments address the material substance of the case rather than procedural legality, and that the travel ban imposed on Adriansyah is a valid legal instrument under Article 141 of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP).
