Public Prosecutor Requests Rejection of Febrie Adriansyah's Exceptions, TPPU Trial Continues

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The Public Prosecutor (JPU) has requested the panel of judges to reject all exceptions filed by former Attorney General's Office Special Crimes Director (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah in the case of alleged money laundering (TPPU).

The JPU stated that the indictment against Febrie has been carefully, clearly, and comprehensively drafted, serving as a solid basis for continuing the examination of the case.

"Based on the above explanation, as the Public Prosecutor, we request the panel of judges to reject the objections raised by the defendant Febrie Adriansyah and his legal team in their entirety," said the JPU while reading their response to Febrie's objections at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court (Tipikor) on Wednesday (21/10/2026).

In their response, the JPU noted that most of the objections raised by Febrie and his legal advisors pertained to factual matters, asset ownership, and the legality of the investigative actions.

According to the JPU, these issues do not constitute grounds for objection to the indictment as stipulated in Article 206 paragraph (1) of Law Number 20 of 2025 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code.

The JPU argued that these objections should be tested through the examination of the main case, including witness testimony and evidence in court.

"The majority of the arguments in the rebuttal notes challenge the facts and errors of the defendant, asset ownership, and the legality of the investigative actions. They do not constitute grounds for objection under Article 206 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code and must be proven in the examination of the main case," the JPU clarified.

In addition to requesting the exception be rejected, the JPU also urged the panel of judges to declare that the indictment against Febrie complies with the provisions of criminal procedural law and is valid for use as the basis for examining the case.

Furthermore, the JPU requested the judges to declare that the Tipikor Court at the Central Jakarta District Court has the authority to hear and adjudicate the case.

"We command that the examination of case number 78/Pid.Sus-TPK/2026/PN Jkt.Pst against the defendant Febrie Adriansyah be continued," said the JPU.

Previously, Febrie Adriansyah was accused of receiving funds alleged by prosecutors to stem from corruption, totaling Rp 346.7 billion and 440,990 USD.

Prosecutors stated that Febrie received these funds alongside Ferry Yanto Hongkiriwang and several other parties between 2020 and July 2026.

"That the total amount received was Rp 346,743,821,282.00 and USD 440,990, which he knew or should have suspected originated from corruption," the prosecutor said in his indictment for money laundering (TPPU) against Febrie, which was read in the Central Jakarta Corruption Court on Wednesday (7/10/2026).

The prosecutor indicated that these receipts were related to Febrie's position, both when he was Director of Investigations at the Attorney General's Office and as Jampidsus.

One of the receipts mentioned in the indictment was a sum of 5 million Singapore dollars or approximately Rp 55 billion from businessman Tan Kian.
