Former Deputy Attorney General Febrie Adriansyah Charged in Corruption Probe, Assets Seized and Travel Ban Imposed

Former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah has been named a suspect in several corruption and money‑laundering cases, including alleged kickbacks in coal procurement, ASABRI and Krakatau Steel. Police investigations uncovered 74 kg of gold bars, U.S. and Singapore dollars, and cash totaling hundreds of billions of rupiah, which were seized from his Sentul residence and other locations.

The case was transferred from the police’s anti‑corruption unit (Kortas Tipikor) to the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung). The Attorney General’s legal communications chief, Anang Supriatna, confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and that Febrie remains in Indonesia under a 20‑day travel‑restriction imposed by immigration, refuting rumors that he had departed for the Umrah pilgrimage.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said it may intervene only if the probe stalls, while former Coordinating Minister Mahfud MD warned of possible legal scenarios such as a pre‑trial petition or delayed prosecution. International partners, including the FBI and U.S. and Singapore embassies, are assisting in testing the authenticity of seized foreign currency.

Authorities stress that the investigation will follow due‑process rules, with additional scrutiny of the seized assets before any further legal action.
