5 Key Facts About Febrie Adriansyah's Detention

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah, has been named a suspect in a money laundering case.

"FA (Febrie Adriansyah) has been named a suspect and will be held in custody for the next 20 days," said Deputy Attorney General for Supervision Rudi Margono, early Saturday, July 25, 2026.

Previously, the prosecutors issued an investigation order in a money laundering case regarding the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and hundreds of billions of rupiah at Febrie's residence in Sentul, Bogor.

Facts of the Febrie Adriansyah Detention

1. Summoned for questioning as a witness

Team 9, formed by Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin, summoned Febrie Adriansyah to provide information as a witness in the money laundering case on Friday, July 24, 2026. The interrogation was in reference to the investigation order (Sprindik) issued by the prosecutor with Serial Number Print-03/F.2/Fd.2/07/2026 dated July 20, 2026. The prosecutors aimed to investigate the police findings of 74 kilograms of gold and US$4,767,300, SG$14,083,800, as well as Rp100 million at Febrie's residence in Sentul, Bogor.

2. Interrogated at the Main Building of AGO

Deputy Attorney General for Supervision Rudi Margono stated that Febrie's interrogation took place at the main building of the Attorney General's Office. This was announced during a morning interview on Friday, July 24, 2026.

The main building is where Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin's office is located. This drew attention as all handling of corruption cases at the attorney general's office has traditionally taken place at the round building, the nickname for the Jampidsus building.

3. Suspected Entry through the Basement

AGO Head of Legal Information Center, Anang Supriatna, stated that Febrie arrived at the main building of the Attorney General's Office at 13:00 local time. However, no journalists stationed at the front of the building observed Febrie entering through the main entrance. Information obtained by Tempo from a legal official familiar with the interrogation process at the time revealed that Febrie entered through the basement.

Febrie's discreet arrival during the interrogation also occurred with the investigation letter issued by the police on corruption and money laundering related to the PT Asabri case. At that time, the prosecutors summoned Febrie as a suspect on July 17, 2026. No journalists were aware of Febrie's arrival, yet suddenly they found him already undergoing interrogation. He was accompanied by his legal representatives Hotman Paris Hutapea and Massagus Farizi. Later, Hotman stated that he resigned as legal counsel due to health reasons.

4. Prosecutor Detains Febrie at the KPK Detention House

Around 23:00 local time, Febrie left the building after the interrogation. He announced that he had been declared a suspect in the money laundering case and would be detained at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Detention House.

However, it was noted that he left without wearing a detainee vest or handcuffs. Febrie claimed to be a victim of criminalization.

Deputy Attorney General Rudi Margono argued that the prosecutors hastily moved Febrie to the detention house late at night, hence they did not put the detainee vest on him.

5. Construction of the Case

Deputy Attorney General Rudi Margono revealed Febrie's modus operandi. "In general, the allegations of money laundering committed by state officials in their capacity as prosecutors or structural officials during their tenure at the prosecutor's office," he said at the Attorney General's Office on Friday, July 24, 2026. However, Rudi did not provide further details on which specific cases were abused by Febrie during his tenure as a prosecutor. "I will not provide further details as this is related to evidence, and if we do, it will significantly hamper us in the future," Rudi stated.
