Febrie Adriansyah, former deputy attorney general for special crimes and top anti-corruption prosecutor in Indonesia, was arrested on suspicion of money laundering on July 25, 2026 [1, 2, 3, 4].
Adriansyah resigned from his post on July 11 after more than four years in office, stepping down amid the ongoing investigation [2, 3, 4]. Police and investigators raided his home and other properties on July 24, seizing 74 kilograms of gold bars and cash valued at about 19 million U.S. dollars (77.7 million Malaysian ringgit), though one source put the total seized at 26 million dollars [1, 2, 3, 4].
The probe was initially conducted by police before being transferred to the Attorney General’s Office to be handled by anti-corruption specialists [1, 2, 3, 4]. Adriansyah was questioned for around 10 hours following his arrest [1, 2, 3, 4].
According to his lawyer, Febri Diansyah, "The legal process can proceed fairly," while Adriansyah himself denied ownership of the seized assets and said he was a victim of "criminalisation" [2].
The case remains under investigation, with details emerging after the recent arrests and raids. Adriansyah’s detention marks a rare instance of a high-ranking former official facing charges related to money laundering involving extensive assets.
Authorities have not announced when further hearings or formal charges will be filed as the investigation continues.
