Indonesia lawyer for former anti-corruption prosecutor demands disclosure of 74 kg seized gold

Jakarta – Febri Diansyah, the attorney representing former Jampidsus (Special Crime Prosecutor) Febrie Adriansyah, urged investigators of the Indonesian Attorney General's Office (Kejaksaan Agung) to identify the owners of 74 kilograms of gold and cash seized during a raid on his client’s residence. He argued that the investigation must rely on solid evidence and clear proof of the predicate crime, rather than depend solely on the suspect’s confession, citing the rights of a suspect under Indonesian criminal procedure law.

Diansyah emphasized that the seized assets should be traced back to their source, asking the investigators to explain who owns the gold, how it was acquired, and what illegal activity it relates to. He noted the complexity of cases that combine corruption and money‑laundering charges, and called for a thorough, fact‑based legal process.
