Who Is Febrie Adriansyah, the Prosecutor Who Resigned Amid Police Probe?

Indonesia’s Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Resigns Amid Corruption Inquiry

Who Is Febrie Adriansyah the Prosecutor – Febrie Adriansyah, the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), has left his post at the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) after being scrutinized by the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor Polri). The AGO acknowledged his resignation, stating it would support the continuation of ongoing legal proceedings without disruption.

The probe centered on allegations of corruption, money laundering, and bribery. Police conducted searches at over a dozen sites in Jakarta, South Tangerang, and Bogor Regency between July 8 and 9, 2026. During these operations, they recovered substantial assets, including dozens of kilograms of gold bars and cash in both local and foreign currencies, estimated to be worth approximately Rp540 billion.

A significant portion of the seized items came from a residence in Sentul, Bogor, which Febrie later confirmed was his own. The property yielded 74 kilograms of gold, along with US$4.767 million and SGD14.083 million in cash. The foreign currency holdings were valued at around Rp476 billion, according to investigators.

Career Path and Key Roles

Febrie Adriansyah was born in Jakarta on February 19, 1968. Though he grew up in the capital, his educational journey spanned from elementary school to university in Jambi. He initiated his legal career in 1996 as a prosecutor at the Sungai Penuh District Attorney’s Office in Kerinci, where he eventually served as Head of the Intelligence Section.

Following his tenure in Jambi, Febrie advanced to pivotal roles, including leadership at the Bandung District Attorney’s Office and assistant positions in East Java and Yogyakarta’s high prosecutor offices. He later held the Deputy position at Jakarta’s High Prosecutor’s Office before becoming its head in 2021. In 2022, he was promoted to Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, taking office on January 6 of that year.

Major Cases Under His Jurisdiction

During his time at Jampidsus, Febrie managed several high-profile corruption cases. These included investigations into state insurance companies PT Asuransi Jiwasraya and PT Asabri, which resulted in recorded losses of Rp16.8 trillion and Rp22.78 trillion respectively. He also dealt with a credit facility scandal involving PT Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN), a major state-owned financial institution.

Wealth and Assets

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) noted a notable increase in Febrie’s reported wealth. His assets rose from Rp6.3 billion in 2022 to over Rp18 billion by 2023. The primary contributor to this growth was inherited property in South Jakarta, valued at Rp10.8 billion. His latest financial report, dated December 31, 2025, listed total assets at Rp18.26 billion.

2024 Surveillance Incident: A Controversial Moment

Febrie’s career faced scrutiny in May 2024 when an alleged surveillance incident occurred. The event took place at De’Clan Signature Cafe in South Jakarta, where he was dining in a VIP area. Two men entered the establishment, requesting a seat in the smoking zone on the second floor, while Febrie remained in a glass-walled room on the same level.

“One of the individuals was seen wearing a mask and aimed a device believed to be a recording tool at Febrie’s room, raising suspicions among the military police guarding him,” shared a Tempo source with knowledge of the event.

The incident sparked public interest, with one of the men identified as a Densus 88 officer. After being temporarily detained, he was released, and the Police’s Internal Security Bureau assumed control of the investigation. Febrie’s security team reportedly retrieved the device before the situation escalated further.
