TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Within the span of a few hours on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, the legal status of former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah changed several times. He had initially been named a suspect by the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipikor) in three separate corruption cases. The police later transferred all three investigations to the Attorney General’s Office (AGO).
The cases implicating Febrie include alleged corruption in the settlement of debts owed by a subsidiary of a subsidiary of Krakatau Steel, alleged extortion of witnesses and suspects in the corruption case involving Asuransi Sosial Angkatan Bersenjata Republik Indonesia (Asabri), and alleged irregularities in coal procurement for state electricity company Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN).
When the AGO announced Febrie’s legal status that day, Anang Supriatna, Chief of its Legal Information Center, said Febrie had reverted to the status of witness. The designation referred to an investigation order issued on July 13. “His status is still that of a witness,” Anang said.
Anang later contacted journalists covering the case at the AGO one by one. He said that Febrie’s legal status had reverted once again to suspect. “The issuance of an investigation order by the Attorney General’s Office does not nullify FA’s status as a suspect,” Anang told Tempo. Within hours, Febrie had gone from suspect to witness, and then back to suspect again.
