TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has the authority to take over the corruption case involving the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah. The case was initially investigated by the police but has now been transferred to the Attorney General's Office.
KPK's Deputy for Enforcement and Execution, Asep Guntur Rahayu, explained that the takeover can be done if the handling of the case is stuck. Article 10A of Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the KPK regulates six criteria that allow the KPK to take over the investigation or prosecution of a case from the police or the prosecutor's office.
"One example is if the case is stuck, as mentioned earlier, if the case is stuck and going back and forth," said Asep at the KPK building, South Jakarta, on Saturday, July 11, 2026.
According to Asep, the takeover of the case cannot be based solely on assumptions, such as the fear of it getting stuck or conflicting interests. "We believe that our investigator colleagues and public prosecutors in the case will act professionally according to the demands of their profession. We are waiting," he said.
The police have named Febrie Adriansyah and a businessman named Don Ritto as suspects in corruption and money laundering. There are three cases that allegedly involve both of them, namely corruption in PT Asabri, corruption in PT Krakatau Steel, and corruption in the coal supply that caused blackouts or power outages in Sumatra. However, the police transferred the investigation of these three cases to the prosecutor's office under the pretext of synergy.
Before the announcement of the suspects, there was a commotion involving the National Police and the Attorney General's Office. This uproar stemmed from the police's raids on 13 locations since July 8, 2026, related to these three cases.
The police conducted raids on eleven locations in Jakarta: PT CBS offices in East Cengkareng, West Jakarta; PT CBS offices in Penjaringan, North Jakarta; PT KNI offices in South Petojo, Central Jakarta; DMG/CP office/group in Kuningan, South Jakarta; PT PML office in Karet Kuningan, South Jakarta.
Then, raids were conducted at Kafe de'Clan Signature in South Cipete, South Jakarta; Koin Money Changer in South Cipete, South Jakarta; TK's house in Mega Kuningan, South Jakarta; DR's house in South Gandaria, South Jakarta; MILDK's house in Pacific Place Apartment; and a shop on Asem II Street, Cipete.
Meanwhile, two other locations were in South Tangerang and Bogor. The Police raided MN's house in North Serpong, South Tangerang, and Febrie Adriansyah's house in Sentul, Bogor.
The police seized foreign currency which, when converted to Indonesian Rupiah, amounts to around Rp60 billion from the raid at Kafe de'Clan Signature. The breakdown is SGD3,130,000 and US$889,965, as well as Rp259,159,000. The money was kept in a safe that is about two meters high hidden behind a cabinet on the second floor of the cafe. The police also took three small suitcases in black, blue, and red, one large black suitcase, and a small steel safe from there.
From the raid at Koin Money Changer, the police confiscated 71 pieces of evidence and cash in 16 types of foreign currency amounting to Rp7.2 billion.
Meanwhile, from Febrie Adriansyah's house, the police seized evidence amounting to around Rp476 billion stored in seven suitcases inside a safe. The seven suitcases contain 74 kilograms of gold and cash. The details of the money found include US$4,767,300, SGD14,083,800, and Rp100 million.
