“Today, Saturday, July 11, 2026, Attorney General ST Burhanuddin has accepted the resignation of Febrie Adriansyah from his position as Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes,” Anang was quoted as saying in a video statement.
The AGO said the move was aimed at protecting the integrity, objectivity and neutrality of the legal process while the National Police continues its investigation.
Febrie’s resignation came after reports emerged that he would step down amid a probe by the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps.
Speaking before the announcement, Febrie said he was still carrying out his duties and had been instructed to speed up priority cases,
Tempo reported.
“This morning, I still received orders to promptly finalise the handling of cases,” he was quoted as saying.
He added that cases involving detention deadlines and matters of major public interest were being prioritised for prosecution.
The resignation followed a series of police searches across Jakarta, South Tangerang and Bogor on July 8 and 9 as investigators looked into alleged corruption, money laundering and bribery cases.
Among the items seized were tens of kilograms of gold bullion and about Rp540 billion (RM140 million) in cash and foreign currencies.
The biggest haul came from a house in Sentul, Bogor, which Febrie later acknowledged belonged to him, where investigators seized 74kg of gold bars, US$4.77 million (RM20.2 million) and S$14.08 million (RM46.8 million) in cash.
Police also recovered S$3.13 million (RM10.4 million) and US$889,965 (RM3.8 million) from a safe at De’Clan Signature Cafe in Cipete, South Jakarta, as well as Rp7.2 billion (RM1.9 million) in cash from a money changer.
Investigators have also searched offices and homes linked to several companies and individuals as part of the ongoing probe
