Overview
- Febrie Adriansyah stepped down from his role as deputy attorney general for special crimes following police raids that investigators say targeted him and associates.
- Investigators recovered about 74 kilograms of gold and roughly $26.3 million in cash from multiple properties linked to Adriansyah, along with phones, documents and financial records.
- Authorities have questioned witnesses, seized records and restricted travel for Adriansyah and lawyer Don Ritto, while the military provided security at a residence; no formal criminal charges have been filed yet.
- Police say the operation is tied to corruption and money‑laundering probes into coal supplies for state power plants and alleged fraud at state insurers, which officials say may have contributed to recent blackouts.
- The case creates an institutional dilemma because Adriansyah led high‑profile prosecutions since 2022, and the Attorney General's Office now faces choices about investigating and potentially prosecuting its former senior official.
