Reasons the Judge Delayed the Ruling on Febrie Adriansyah's Objections Until the Final Decision

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - A panel of judges at the Jakarta Corruption Court has revealed the reasons for delaying a ruling on former Special Crimes Director Febrie Adriansyah's objections in a case involving alleged extortion and money laundering.

In this instance, the judges stated that Febrie's objections must be examined through a substantive review of the case.

"The ultimate decision on these objections will be rendered alongside the final ruling, and the truth regarding the origin, control, and connections of the assets involved with the criminal acts will be further scrutinized during the main examination of the case," the judge remarked while reading the considerations for the interim ruling on the prosecutor's indictment and Febrie's objections on Monday (26/10/2026).

Nonetheless, the judges found that Febrie's defense regarding the origin of 74 kilograms of gold and foreign currency did not indicate any defects in the charges that would nullify the indictment legally.

"Considering these considerations, the arguments presented by the defendant's lawyer concerning the 74 kg of gold and foreign currency at this stage do not reveal any defects that would nullify the indictment," the judge stated.

The judge opined that the indictment has adequately described the sequence of actions attributed to Febrie.

The judges also noted that the prosecutor's indictment detailed Febrie's actions and his connections with Don Ritto alias Idon, Nurman Herin, and Ferry Yanto Hongkiriwang.

However, the judges emphasized that the truth of these actions must be verified based on the evidence presented in the trial.

"Thus, the structure of the actions to be proven can be understood, although the truth of the relationships involved still requires verification based on the evidence," he added.

Interim Ruling

The panel of judges at the Jakarta Corruption Court has ordered the public prosecutor (JPU) from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to continue examining the case of alleged extortion and money laundering involving former Special Crimes Director Febrie Adriansyah.

This was one of three points in the interim ruling on Febrie's exception read by presiding judge Akhmad Fijiarsyah Joko Sutrisno at the Jakarta Corruption Court on Monday (26/10/2026).

"We order the public prosecutor to continue examining the case numbered 78/Pid.Sus-TPK/2026/PN.Jkt.Pst against the defendant Febrie Adriansyah," said Akhmad in the Kusumahatmaja courtroom.

Additionally, the judges stated that Febrie's objections to the prosecutor's indictment would be resolved together with the final ruling in this case.

"The costs of the proceedings are suspended until the final ruling," he stated.
