TNI, Police, AGO Urged to Unite amid Coal Graft Feud

Call for Institutional Unity as Corruption Probe Intensifies

Tempatdonasi.com – Legislative leaders are emphasizing the need for coordinated action among Indonesia’s primary law enforcement and prosecutorial bodies. Soedeson Tandra, representing the Golkar Party within the House of Representatives’ Commission III, has publicly advocated for strengthened collaboration between the Indonesian National Armed Forces, the National Police, and the Attorney General’s Office. This appeal comes at a critical moment when internal tensions threaten to undermine anti-corruption efforts during a significant investigation.

Energy Sector Under Scrutiny

Tandra highlighted that corruption could jeopardize several key initiatives championed by President Prabowo Subianto. The legislator specifically pointed to energy security as a cornerstone of national development that requires unified institutional support.

Particularly in the President’s upcoming programs, energy issues and energy resilience are national priorities that must be jointly supported.

These observations were delivered at the parliamentary complex in Central Jakarta on Thursday, July 9, 2026, as investigators continued their work on multiple fronts.

Security Measures Follow Investigation Raids

The call for unity emerged against a backdrop of heightened security operations. On the evening of Wednesday, July 8, 2026, military personnel numbering more than a platoon established a protective perimeter around the residence of Febrie Adriansyah. As the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Adriansyah plays a pivotal role in the ongoing probe.

The enhanced security deployment followed coordinated raids conducted earlier that day at Kafe de’Clan Signature, located in the Cipete district of South Jakarta. Investigators from both the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Task Force and the Jakarta Metropolitan Police converged on the establishment as part of expanding inquiries into financial crimes.

Multiple Cases Under Joint Investigation

According to Insp. Gen. Totok Suharyanto, who leads the National Police’s Kortastipidkor, operations simultaneously targeted eight separate locations. Among these sites was the Point Money Changer, which became relevant to the broader investigation. The coordinated actions encompassed three major legal matters being pursued under a unified investigative framework.

These include the PT Asabri scandal involving alleged graft, the corruption case connected to coal supply chains that recently caused widespread power disruptions across Sumatra, and matters related to PT Krakatau Steel.

Legal Process Must Be Respected

Jakarta Metropolitan Police spokesperson Grand Commissioner Budi Hermanto addressed concerns about potential interference with the investigation. He cautioned that any efforts to obstruct the legal proceedings could result in criminal charges.

We remind anyone attempting to interfere with the investigation that they can be prosecuted under Article 21 of the Corruption Eradication Law.

Tandra reinforced this message by stressing that equality before the law applies regardless of status. Whether dealing with senior government officials, corporate leaders, or regular staff members, all individuals face the same legal standards.

Historical Context of Tensions

The current situation recalls previous incidents involving Adriansyah. On May 19, 2024, the Deputy Attorney General was followed by Densus 88, the police’s counterterrorism detachment, during a meal at the same establishment. At that time, the venue operated under the name Gontran Cherrier before being rebranded.

As investigations continue to unfold, stakeholders across government institutions remain focused on maintaining cooperation while ensuring thorough examination of all allegations. The outcome of these proceedings may significantly influence Indonesia’s approach to combating corruption in critical economic sectors.
