KPK Confident Police-Kejaksaan Are Professional in Investigating Alleged Corruption of Former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) believes the National Police and the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) are professional in handling alleged corruption that ensnared the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah.

This belief was conveyed by KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in response to the transfer of three corruption cases from the Corruption Eradication Task Force (Kortas Tipidkor) and the Metro Jaya Police to the Attorney General's Office.

"KPK believes in the professionalism of handling cases in the Police and the Attorney General's Office," said Budi through a written statement quoted on Monday, July 13.

Budi asked all parties to respect the legal process that is currently taking place, including the decision to transfer the case that dragged Febrie's name. He believes the police and the Attorney General's Office will be open in handling the alleged corruption.

"The National Police and the Attorney General's Office are also always open in handling cases, so that the public can also continue to follow the development," he said.

"For that, let's respect the legal process that is underway," continued Budi.

As previously reported, Febrie Adriansyah as a former Jampidsus was officially named a suspect. The National Police's Anti-Corruption Crime Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor) has determined that Febrie is involved in the alleged corruption and money laundering crime (TPPU).

This case is an expansion of the investigation of the Polri's Corruption and Crime Investigation Agency regarding alleged corruption and money laundering allegedly related to the supply of coal for the PLTU owned by PT PLN, handling the PT ASABRI (Persero) case, to the settlement of PT Krakatau Steel's debt. Attorney Don Ritto was also named a suspect.

After the determination of the suspect, the Corruption Court announced an agreement to transfer this case to the Attorney General's Office. This is because the three alleged corruption cases were handled by the Adhyaksa Corps first and as a form of synergy.

The Directorate General of Immigration of the Ministry of Immigration and Correction (Kemenimipas) prevented the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) of the Attorney General's Office, Febrie Adriansyah, from traveling abroad. The travel ban was issued at the request of the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate (Ditreskrimsus) of the Metro Jaya Police.

"Immigration has carried out prevention abroad against two people with the initials FA (ASN)," said Director General of Immigration Hendarsam Marantoko in his statement, Monday, July 13.
