A civil society anti-corruption coalition has reported Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes at the Attorney General's Office (AGO), Febrie Adriansyah, to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for a number of alleged corruption cases.

 

The coalition, which consists of the Indonesia Police Watch (IPW), the Civil Society Coalition to Save Mines (KSST), the Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) and the Indonesian Democracy Defense Team, filed the report on Monday, March 10, 2025.

 

Febrie was reported to the KPK for irregularities related to the handling of four corruption cases, namely Jiwasraya, the Ronald Tannur bribery case with defendant Zarof Ricar, abuse of authority in the coal trade in East Kalimantan and Money Laundering (TPPU).

 

"What has been reported on FA (Febrie Adriansyah) remains. This addition is related to an alleged corruption case, a bribery case, about mining governance in East Kalimantan and TPPU," Ronald Loblobly, coordinator of the Anti-Corruption Civil Coalition, said on Monday, March 10, 2025.

 

The Anti-Corruption Civil Coalition provided information back to the KPK regarding the main case that was previously reported, namely the auction of confiscated corruption goods in the form of a package of shares of PT Gunung Bara Utama (PT GBU) which was carried out by the Asset Recovery Center (PPA) at the Attorney General's Office.

 

"We are providing information again regarding the position of the new commissioner, that we are informing that there are cases that we have already reported, well then with the three additional cases," he said.

 

Ronald cited results of a research by the coalition which reveal that defendant Zarof Ricar, former Head of the Agency for Research&Development and Education and Training of Law and Justice at the Supreme Court, was not charged with the article on bribery related to evidence of money amounting to Rp920 billion (US$56 million) and 51 kilograms (kg) of gold.

 

Zarof was only charged with gratification in accordance with Article 12B and Article 18 of Law No. 20/2001 on Corruption Eradication.

 

"If we look at the format of the indictment read by Public Prosecutor Nurachman Adikusumo, it is reasonable to suspect that Zarof Ricar was given a loophole of protection by Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah to be acquitted," Ronald said.

 

He asked the PK to investigate alleged attempts to conceal or disguise money obtained from the proceeds of abuse of authority and/or corruption allegedly committed by Febrie Adriansyah.

 

"This was done by using a number of gatekeepers, namely Don Ritto; Nurman Herin, who is part of the Jambi University Alumni Family; together with Febrie Adriansyah who serves as the Advisory Board and Honorary Council; Jeffri Ardiatma; and Rangga Cipta," he said.
