“Put the Dough on Ice”, Deputy Assistant AG Allegedly Told Co-conspirator, Tempo.co

“Put the Dough on Ice”: Indonesia’s National Deputy Assistant Attorney General Allegedly Told Co-Conspirator

By Jihan Ristiyanti for Tempo.co, July 14, 2026

A series of raids conducted by police officers between July 8 and 10, 2026, has once again highlighted the ties between Indonesia’s former Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah, and businessman Ferry Yanto Hongkiriwang—also known as Ferry Boboho. After reviewing the case, police named Febrie a suspect in three corruption cases.

“We have conducted a case review and named two suspects: DR and FA,” Police Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, head of the Indonesian National Police Corruption Eradication Corps, said Saturday, July 11, 2026.

Police suspect the former deputy assistant attorney general was involved in corruption cases involving state-owned enterprises PT Asabri and PT Krakatau Steel, as well as irregularities in the procurement of coal supplies.

Investigators’ case against Febrie is also linked to the arrest of Ferry Boboho on July 29, 2025. Ferry was arrested on charges of assaulting a member of the Indonesian National Police’s Special Detachment 88 (Densus 88) counterterrorism unit. The alleged assault occurred after Ferry discovered two Densus 88 members spying on him at the Hotel Borobudur four days earlier.

During questioning, investigators also probed matters involving Febrie Adriansyah. Ferry is known to have business ties to the former deputy assistant attorney general for special crimes.

Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Special Crimes

Questioning of Ferry uncovered allegations of extortion involving property developer Tan Kian during the Attorney General’s Office handling of the PT Asabri corruption case. Febrie served as director of investigation for the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) in 2022 and stepped down on Saturday, July 11, 2026.

Tan Kian was allegedly intimidated with threats that he would be named a suspect in the PT Asabri corruption case. A report in the Sunday, July 12, 2026, edition of Tempo magazine, titled “The Role of the President’s Inner Circle in the Police-Prosecutor Conflict,” covers the incident. In short, Febrie allegedly demanded a payment from Tan Kian in exchange for not naming him a suspect with Ferry acting as the intermediary.

In 2022, Ferry allegedly received S$5 million—wrapped in a red bag—from Tan Kian’s secretary. The handover allegedly happened at a five-star hotel in the Mega Kuningan area of South Jakarta. At the exchange rate at the time, the amount was worth approximately 55 billion rupiah (over $3 million) with Ferry keeping 5 billion rupiah for himself.

After receiving the money from Tan Kian’s secretary, Ferry allegedly went to Febrie’s home on Jalan Radio, Kramat Pela, South Jakarta. But Febrie refused to accept the money directly. “Hold on to it for now; let things cool down,” Ferry told investigators, quoting Febrie’s instructions. At the time, the PT Asabri trial was still ongoing.

After the trial ended, Ferry allegedly contacted Febrie to hand over the 50 billion rupiah ($2.8 million) from Tan Kian. Febrie allegedly said his emissary would collect the money in front of a fast-food chicken restaurant in Cipete, South Jakarta.

The emissary was alleged to be Nurman Herin. After receiving the payment from Ferry, Nurman allegedly went to Koin Money Changer, located about 100 meters from the meeting point. The money changer was next to d’Clan Signature café. Police later searched both locations as part of their investigation into Febrie.

Officers seized 7.2 billion rupiah ($400,000) from the money changer and 60 billion rupiah ($3.3 million) from d’Clan Signature café. The café had previously operated as Gontran Cherrier restaurant, with Ferry running the business at the time. The café was also where members of Special Detachment 88 (Densus 88), the counterterrorism unit, placed Febrie under surveillance on May 19, 2024—two months before they surveilled Ferry Hongkiriwang.

Café de’Clan is now believed to be run by Nurman and a lawyer named Don Ritto. Ferry had offered the license for the eatery to Febrie, who accepted and appointed Nurman and Don to manage it. Don Ritto has been named a suspect in these three cases and has denied that the money seized from his café was linked to any criminal activity.

Febrie also has denies involvement in the three corruption cases. He confirmed that he handled the PT Asabri corruption case but claimed the process was transparent. “It can easily be verified,” he said last Thursday.

As for Café de’Clan Signature, Febrie denied any involvement in the business. He also denied owning the 74 kilograms of gold bullion and 282 billion rupiah ($15.7 million) in cash found at his Sentul home during a police search. “We are confident that everything can be properly accounted for,” he said.

Demonstrator Arrests: Prosecutors Cannot Appeal Demonstrators’ Acquittal, Legal Expert

Prosecutors Cannot Appeal Delpedro’s Acquittal, Legal Expert Bivitri Susanti

By Amelia Rahima Sari for Tempo.co, April 9, 2026

Senior law professor at Jentera Indonesian Law College, Ms. Bivitri Susanti, believes public prosecutors should not be able to appeal the acquittal of Delpedro Marhaen and his co-defendants. The Executive Director of the Lokataru Foundation, along with Syahdan Husein, Muzaffar Salim, and Khariq Anhar, was charged with inciting nationwide demonstrations in August 2025 and was acquitted on March 6, 2026.

“According to Article 299, paragraph (2), letter (a) of Indonesia’s Criminal Procedure Code, an appeal cannot be filed against an acquittal. This is very clear,” Bivitri told Tempo.co on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.

Article 299, paragraph (2), letter (a) of Law No. 20/2025 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code states: “A superior court (cassation) appeal, as referred to in paragraph (1), cannot be filed against: (a.) an acquittal…”

Bivitri explained that the acquittal for Delpedro and his co-defendants was handed down after Indonesia’s new Criminal Procedure Code came into force. Therefore, post-verdict proceedings must refer to the new provisions in accordance with the transitional clauses.

She also cited Article 361, letter (d) of the new Criminal Procedure Code, which states: “In the matter of a criminal case that has been transferred to the court but the examination of the defendant has not yet commenced, the case shall be examined, tried, and decided in accordance with the provisions of this Law.”

“In my opinion, the prosecutor’s legal efforts should be viewed as actions initiated after the district court’s decision was made, not as starting from the time Delpedro and his co-defendants were indicted at the District Court,” Bivitri stated.

She deemed the comments made by Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra—who expressed respect for the prosecutor’s appeal—as inappropriate. This is because Article 361, letter (d) of the new Criminal Procedure Code must be interpreted as a legal action that commenced only when the prosecutor files its appeal.

“Even though these cases share the same principle, interpretations of criminal law should not be applied; however, when differing interpretations arise, interpretation is allowed under the legal principle exceptio firmat regulam,” Bivitri stated. This means that criminal law may be interpreted in a manner that benefits the accused or the convicted.

According to Bivitri, the Supreme Court should throw out the prosecutor’s appeal against the acquittal of Delpedro Marhaen and his associates. She hopes the Supreme Court employs reasoning that applies the principle exceptio firmat regulam.

“The Supreme Court has the best understanding of procedural law and its principles, along with the formal authority to resolve differences of interpretation,” she remarked.

Coordinating Minister Yusril’s Statement

Coordinating Minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra said that he respected the public prosecutor’s decision to appeal. Although the Prosecutor’s Office is part of the government, he claimed that prosecutors remain independent in fulfilling their duties and exercising their authority as law enforcement officials.

“From the beginning, I have stated that court decisions must be respected out of deference for judicial independence,” Yusril said in a written statement on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.

He argued that in the case of Delpedro Marhaen and his fellow defendants, the investigation, inquiry, prosecution, and trial processes have all been governed by the old Criminal Procedure Code. Conversely, the verdict was delivered after January 2, 2026, when Indonesia’s new code came into effect.

Based on the transitional provisions of the new Criminal Procedure Code, Yusril said all trial proceedings and subsequent processes continue under the old Criminal Procedure Code. However, if the legal principles related to changes in the law are followed, the law most favorable to the defendant will be applied.

The new Criminal Procedure Code indicates that in cases of acquittal, the verdict is final and the prosecutor cannot appeal. According to Yusril, whether the prosecutor can appeal remains an academic debate since the case commenced under the old Criminal Procedure Code.

“So, in my opinion, if the prosecutor does file an appeal, the Supreme Court will decide on the permissibly of the appeal,” Yusril said. “Delpedro and his lawyers can assert the argument related to legal change in their counter-motion to the Supreme Court.”

The Supreme Court could declare the prosecutor’s appeal inadmissible (NO or niet ontvankelijke verklaard), thereby excluding the case material from consideration. Alternatively, the Supreme Court might still hear the appeal (cassation) application, and the decision will rest with the panel of justices hearing the matter.

“Since the prosecutor has filed an appeal, we will simply await the Supreme Court’s decision. The government will respect any decision made by the Supreme Court as the highest judicial authority in our country,” Yusril stated.

He stressed that moving forward, if the investigation and trial processes utilize the new Criminal Procedure Code, the prosecutor will no longer be able to file further legal proceedings. This will ensure legal certainty as stipulated by Article 299 of the Criminal Procedure Code. According to Yusril, legal certainty is an integral aspect of justice that must be upheld.
