Febrie Adriansyah's Camp: We Look Forward to Evidence Presentation

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The legal team for former head of the Special Crimes Directorate, Febrie Adriansyah, expressed their eagerness to see the evidentiary phase of the alleged extortion and money laundering case against their client begin.

“We are very pleased and looking forward to the process of evidence examination,” said Febri Diansyah, Febrie's lawyer, when met at the Jakarta Corruption Court (PN Tipikor) on Monday (October 26, 2026).

Febri spoke after the panel of judges at the Jakarta PN Tipikor ordered the public prosecutor (JPU) to proceed with the case against Febrie to the evidentiary phase.

The evidentiary phase is set to begin on Monday (November 2, 2026) with an agenda for opening statements.

“This is a new procedure in the Criminal Procedure Code, now there is an opening statement and the prosecutor will also prepare for that,” he explained.

Febrie's team will outline the general structure on how to substantiate a claim.

“So, we will challenge and cross-examine the evidence put forth by the prosecutor,” he added.

Despite this, Febri emphasized that they respect the interim ruling made by the panel of judges at the Jakarta PN Tipikor.

Interim Ruling: Proceedings Continue to Evidence Examination

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

This constituted one of the three points in the interim ruling on Febrie's objections, read by presiding judge Akhmad Fijiarsyah Joko Sutrisno at the Jakarta PN Tipikor on Monday (October 26, 2026).

“The court orders the prosecutor to continue the examination of case number 78/Pid.Sus-TPK/2026/PN.Jkt.Pst regarding the defendant Febrie Adriansyah,” Akhmad stated in the Kusumahatmaja courtroom.

Additionally, the judge declared that Febrie’s objection to the prosecutor's charges would be decided together with the final verdict in this case.

“The case costs are deferred until the final verdict,” he clarified.

Charges Against Febrie

The JPU has charged Febrie with receiving a total of IDR 346.7 billion and USD 440,990 in connection with handling corruption cases from 2020 until July 2026.

This receipt allegedly occurred while Febrie served as the Director of Investigation at the Special Crimes Directorate.
