Indonesia’s Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has opened three new investigations into alleged corruption involving a Krakatau-linked case, PLN coal procurement and Asabri. Officials say the orders remain general while they review the transferred evidence. At this stage, the prosecution service treats Febrie Adriansyah and Don Ritto as witnesses under its new orders.

Thekabarnews.com—The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has issued three new investigation orders. These cover separate alleged corruption cases transferred from the Indonesian National Police (Polri).

The orders comprise Sprindik No. 43 for a Krakatau-related case. They also include Sprindik No. 44 for alleged corruption involving coal procurement at state electricity company PT PLN. Sprindik No. 45 covers a case involving state-owned insurer PT Asabri.

AGO spokesperson Anang Supriatna said on Wednesday, July 15, that all three orders were still general investigation orders.

This means the AGO has not named new suspects under the documents. Its investigators are still examining the evidence transferred by the police.

According to Anang, the AGO must independently review the case files, physical evidence and previous investigative findings. Only then can they decide on subsequent legal measures.

The issuance of the three orders formally places the investigations and related pro justitia actions under the AGO’s authority. Anang said that investigators from the Jakarta Metropolitan Police gradually transferred evidence and case documents.

The AGO has reportedly formed a nine-member special team to handle the cases. Most of its members previously served as investigators at Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). The AGO said it would continue coordinating with the police and KPK during the investigation.

Tirto also reported the details of the three orders and the formation of the investigative team.

Police investigators had previously designated former Assistant Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah as a suspect. Police also designated private-sector figure Don Ritto as a suspect. Anang said those police determinations remained part of the case record.

The AGO’s newly issued general investigation orders currently identify both men as witnesses while prosecutors assess the transferred evidence.

The new classification does not automatically invalidate earlier police action or represent a final determination of their legal status.

Immigration authorities have also imposed a 20-day overseas travel restriction on both men. This follows a Jakarta Metropolitan Police request dated July 11. According to Metro TV News, investigators may extend the restriction if they consider it necessary.

The AGO’s internal supervisory division is continuing a separate examination into alleged ethical violations involving Febrie. Anang said the administrative inquiry would remain independent from the criminal investigation.

Febrie previously resigned as Assistant Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus). Attorney General ST Burhanuddin subsequently appointed Rudi Margono as acting head of the division to maintain operational continuity.

The House of Representatives’ Commission III has announced the formation of an oversight team to monitor the cases. The goal is to ensure legal certainty.

The commission called on the police, AGO and other institutions to maintain professional cooperation throughout the process. This information is according to the House’s official news portal.

All individuals mentioned in the investigations retain the presumption of innocence. A final and binding court ruling must prove them guilty.
