JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) spokesman Budi Prasetyo said there was no official request from the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) to supervise the handling of corruption cases that ensnared the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah.

"We (will, ed) check whether it has been or not," Budi told reporters when asked about the Attorney General's statement regarding the request for supervision, Monday, July 13.

Even so, the KPK has actually talked about the supervision process informally. This discussion is said to have been carried out by Budi when two KPK deputies were invited to a press conference on Friday, July 10.

"At the time before the press conference at the Metro Police, as conveyed by the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, yesterday that there was indeed a discussion also carried out between the KPK and friends in the Police, yes, regarding the mechanisms if there is coordination or supervision of a case," he said.

"And the KPK also in the meeting has conveyed yes the mechanisms of a case can or can be coordinated and supervised."

Meanwhile, the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) stated that it would involve the KPK to investigate the alleged corruption of Febrie. Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) of the Attorney General's Office, Anang Supriatna, said that the supervision of the KPK was needed so that the handling of the case could run objectively and be accountable.

"We will be professional and transparent, we will involve the supervision of the KPK," said Anang at the Attorney General's Office, South Jakarta, Monday, July 13, 2026.

In addition to involving the KPK, the Attorney General's Office will form a special investigative team consisting of personnel who are considered to have no conflict of interest. The team was appointed directly by the acting (Plt) Jampidsus.

According to Anang, this step was taken because most of the investigators in the Jampidsus environment had been under the leadership of Febrie Adriansyah. Therefore, the selection of investigators was carried out selectively to ensure that the investigation process was objective.

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.
