Febrie Adriansyah Resigns as Deputy Attorney General Amid Corruption Probe and Police Raids
Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah stepped down in July 2026 as police investigations into three alleged corruption cases – involving state insurer Asabri, a coal‑procurement scheme linked to nationwide blackouts, and Krakatau Steel – progressed. Joint raids by the Indonesian National Police and the Jakarta Metropolitan Police seized 74 kg of gold bars and cash worth about US$20 million from Febrie’s homes and related offices. The authorities named Febrie and a private individual as suspects for both corruption and money‑laundering offenses.
The investigation drew the involvement of the military, prompting debate over possible obstruction of justice, while the House’s Commission III formed a supervisory team to monitor the case. President Prabowo Subianto called for solid cooperation among the police, the prosecutor’s office and other law‑enforcement agencies. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) signaled it could take over the case if police investigations stall, citing legal provisions. The episode has raised concerns about the integrity of Indonesia’s anti‑corruption institutions and their impact on public trust and the investment climate.
