FBI to Help Polri Verify Assets Seized in Febrie Adriansyah Probe

International Agencies Assist Indonesian Police in Verifying Major Asset Seizures in Febrie Adriansyah Corruption Investigation

Tempatdonasi.com – Indonesian law enforcement authorities have intensified their ongoing probe into three separate corruption allegations connected to Febrie Adriansyah, the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, commonly known as Jampidsus. The investigation has now expanded to include comprehensive verification of substantial quantities of cash and precious gold bars that were confiscated during multiple search operations conducted across various locations.

Based on observations made by Tempo reporters, numerous investigators were documented entering and exiting the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate building situated within the Jakarta Metro Jaya Police headquarters. These officials were observed carrying several large suitcases that are believed to contain the confiscated monetary assets collected during the investigation.

Foreign Currency Authentication Underway

Senior Commissioner Budi Hermanto, serving as the spokesperson for Jakarta Metro Jaya Police, provided updates on the current verification process. He explained that investigators are meticulously examining the authenticity of all seized funds, which encompass Indonesian rupiah, U.S. dollars, and Singapore dollars.

“There are U.S. dollars, Singapore dollars, and rupiah,” Budi stated during his press briefing on Monday, July 13, 2026.

The police authorities have initiated coordination with international partners to ensure accurate authentication of the foreign currencies. This collaborative effort involves the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, alongside representatives from both the U.S. and Singapore embassies in Indonesia.

“And also with the U.S. Embassy and the Singapore Embassy,” he informed members of the press during the same session.

In parallel with international cooperation, Bank Indonesia has been formally requested to conduct verification of the Indonesian rupiah banknotes that were seized. According to Budi Hermanto, the examination results will be communicated to the public at regular intervals as investigators continue strengthening their case before transferring it to prosecutors for potential legal proceedings.

Gold Bars Subject to Laboratory Analysis

Concurrently, investigators are conducting detailed examinations of dozens of gold bars that were recovered from a residential property located within the Parahyangan Golf 2 housing complex in Sentul, Bogor Regency. To ensure thorough analysis, police authorities have established a partnership with PT Pegadaian, a state-owned pawnshop enterprise, to perform laboratory testing on the confiscated gold.

Rubica Giovani Malewa, who serves as the Head of Operations at Pegadaian’s G-Lab facility, explained that the examination process aims to determine the authenticity, purity level, and total weight of the confiscated gold bars.

“We will first identify its quality, namely its purity and weight,” Rubica clarified during her statement regarding the testing procedures.

She provided an estimated timeframe for the laboratory testing, indicating that the process would require approximately one to two days to complete. The findings generated from these tests are expected to serve as crucial evidence supporting the broader investigation into the alleged corruption cases.

Substantial Asset Value and Ongoing Investigation

Previously, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, who leads the National Police Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor), revealed that investigators discovered the gold bars concealed inside a locked safe at the Sentul residence. He described the contents in detail during his official statement released on Thursday, July 9.

“When it was opened, it contained seven suitcases,” Totok explained in his statement.

Beyond the gold bars, investigators also uncovered cash holdings in multiple foreign currencies during their search operations. According to Totok Suharyanto’s calculations, the combined estimated value of all seized assets, encompassing both the cash and gold bars, reached approximately Rp476 billion, which translates to roughly US$29 million in current exchange rates.

Police authorities are currently determining whether these substantial assets are directly connected to the three corruption cases that allegedly involve Febrie Adriansyah. The former Deputy Attorney General was officially named as a suspect earlier in the current month. Throughout the investigation, Febrie has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has disputed claims regarding his ownership of several assets that were confiscated during the search operations.

The comprehensive verification process involving multiple international and domestic agencies underscores the significance of this investigation and the potential implications for Indonesian anti-corruption efforts. As the examination of assets continues, investigators remain focused on establishing clear connections between the seized property and the alleged corrupt activities.
