TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Former Deputy Attorney General for Special Criminal, Febrie Adriansyah, underwent questioning at the Attorney General's Office in South Jakarta on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. This time, Febrie was interrogated by the Attorney General's Office investigators in his capacity as a suspect in alleged money laundering (TPPU).
Dressed in a long-sleeved blue batik shirt and a pink vest, with both hands handcuffed, Febrie arrived at the Round Building in a detainee car at 10:08 AM. He was escorted by several people while undergoing questioning at the Attorney General's Office.
Febri Diansyah, Febrie's lawyer, stated through his legal counsel that his client was being questioned as a suspect in a money laundering case involving PT Asabri and PT Asuransi Jiwasraya. Febrie mentioned that the former Deputy Attorney General's interrogation was based on the Investigating Order of the Deputy Attorney General for Special Criminal number: PRIN-45/F/Fd.2/07/2026.
"Suspect Number: S.Tap/02/VII/RES.3.3/2026 Metro Jaya Regional Police dated July 10, 2026 regarding the Naming of Suspect Febrie Adriansyah, jo Decision of the South Pretrial Court Number: 134/Pid.Pra/2026/PN.JKT.SEL dated August 27, 2026, and number 135/Pid.Pra/2026 PN.JKT.SEL dated August 28, 2026," Febrie said in his written statement on Tuesday.
According to Febri, his client will be cooperative during today's questioning. He said he will accompany Febrie during the questioning at the Attorney General's Office. "Even though this is the first time we have seen a suspect being summoned based on the naming of suspects by other institutions and pretrial court decisions," he said.
Previously, the prosecutor identified Febrie as a suspect in a money laundering case involving the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and hundreds of billions of rupiah at his residence in Sentul. However, until now, the origin of the 74 kilograms of gold and hundreds of billions of rupiah found at his residence remains unclear.
In addition to Febrie, the prosecutor also named two other suspects in the alleged money laundering case involving the former Deputy Attorney General. They are Don Ritto and Nurman Herin. Nurman Herin is a former college mate of Febrie and Don Ritto at the University of Jambi.
In the report of Tempo Magazine dated July 26, 2026, Nurman Herin resides in Mariana Village, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. Although he was born in Jambi, the neighbors knew that his family originated from West Sumatra. "It was only after marriage that they settled in Mariana Village," said Warim, 73, the chairman of the neighborhood association and Nurman's next-door neighbor.
Nurman has occupied his new house since the start of the pandemic. Previously, he had rented a house about 200 meters away. His wife, who is a teacher, often stays in Mariana Village. Nurman's two children are studying in another city. "Mr. Nurman comes home every few weeks," said another neighbor, Edi, 49.
Tempo visited Nurman's residence on Friday, July 24, 2026, but the house was empty. According to the neighbors, about four months before Eid al-Adha, Nurman and his wife moved to Jakarta.
Meanwhile, Don Ritto's lawyer, Handika Honggowongso, is confident that his client is innocent. "He is just a scapegoat because he is considered close to the Deputy Attorney General," he told Tempo on Saturday, July 11, 2026.
