Febrie Adriansyah denies allegations of extortion and money laundering involving state insurance companies.
A former senior Indonesian prosecutor once responsible for major corruption cases is now facing trial himself, after investigators seized millions of dollars in cash and dozens of kilograms of gold from properties linked to him.
Febrie Adriansyah Goes on Trial
Former top anti-corruption prosecutor Febrie Adriansyah went on trial on October 7, 2026, facing allegations including money laundering. Febrie, who previously served as Indonesia’s Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, is accused of wrongdoing involving public money while holding senior positions at the Attorney General’s Office. He has denied the allegations against him.
US$19 Million and 74kg of Gold Seized
Investigators seized approximately US$19 million in various currencies and 74 kilograms of gold bars from properties linked to Febrie, including his residence outside Jakarta. The seizures formed part of an investigation into allegations of extortion and money laundering involving state insurance companies.
Prosecutors Allege Abuse of Public Office
The indictment alleges that Febrie used his position as a civil servant or state official to unlawfully benefit himself or others, including through alleged abuse of authority. The Attorney General’s Office has accused him of extortion and money laundering connected to cases involving state insurance companies. These remain prosecution allegations and have not been established by a final court judgment.
Alleged Extortion Linked to Jiwasraya Case
The Attorney General’s Office has accused Febrie of extortion and money laundering in connection with cases involving state insurance companies. The allegations remain subject to judicial proceedings, and Febrie has denied wrongdoing.
Febrie Seeks Return of Seized Assets
Febrie stepped down from his senior role in July 2026, following raids on properties including his residence outside Jakarta. In August, he filed a court request seeking the return of money and gold seized during the investigation. He now faces trial on money laundering charges and allegations of wrongdoing involving public funds.
The prosecution of a former senior official responsible for handling major corruption cases places renewed attention on accountability within Indonesia’s law-enforcement institutions. For Indonesians, the case will be closely watched as the allegations are tested in court. For Singaporeans, the proceedings also carry regional relevance because the allegations involve substantial financial assets and an alleged payment denominated in Singapore dollars.
