JAKARTA - The lawyer for former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah (FA), Hotman Paris Hutapea, said his client was not detained after being questioned by the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) for about 10 hours.

"Today it was in the BAP (news of the examination) from nine o'clock until it was just finished. There was no detention today," he said as reported by ANTARA, Friday, July 17.

Hotman said that Febrie was asked 18 questions by the Kejaksaan investigators regarding his status as a suspect in alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) in the legal process by state organizers in the PT Asabri case for the period 2020-2024.

The status of the suspect was determined by the police investigators before the handling of the case was handed over to the Attorney General's Office.

"The eight questions have been answered well. Today is only limited to the case of PT Asabri," he said.

He revealed that some of the questions asked by investigators included those related to Febrie's relationship with Tan Kian, a property entrepreneur, and about Febrie's house ownership in Sentul, Bogor Regency, West Java.

Meanwhile, Febrie's other lawyer, Massagus Farizi, said his party had applied for his client to remain in custody.

"One was because he was so determined to resign as a suspect, it means he is cooperative, invites professional examination, does not want to intervene," he said.

Another reason is that Febrie has been prevented from going abroad and the evidence has been seized by investigators.

It is known that the Attorney General's Office issued an investigation order (sprindik) after receiving the transfer of three cases from the National Police as a form of synergy in law enforcement. First, the number 43 sprindik for the alleged corruption and TPPU cases of PT KNI.

Second, sprindik number 44 for the alleged case of corruption in coal management at the power plant which is suspected to have triggered the blackout.

Finally, the sprindik number 45 is related to the case of alleged corruption and TPPU in handling the PT Asabri case.
