Indonesia's top anti-corruption prosecutor, Febrie Adriansyah, has resigned following police raids that uncovered 74 kilograms of gold bars and about $20 million in cash in multiple currencies.
In a statement released on Saturday, Indonesia's Attorney General's Office said Adriansyah stepped down as head of the Special Crimes Division to "maintain the integrity, objectivity and neutrality of law enforcement" while investigations continue.
Police conducted coordinated raids at 12 locations in Jakarta, South Tangerang and Bogor on July 8 and 9 as part of a corruption and bribery investigation linked to nationwide electricity blackouts. Authorities said the probe also involves alleged fraud connected to state insurers Asabri and the defunct Jiwasraya, as well as suspected collusion in coal procurement for state power plants.
According to police spokesperson Budi Hermanto, investigators seized 74kg of gold bars along with cash in Indonesian rupiah, US dollars, Singapore dollars and Saudi riyals valued at approximately $20 million. Local media reported that a large portion of the assets was found at a house in Bogor reportedly owned by Adriansyah.
Authorities have not filed any criminal charges against Adriansyah. Before announcing his resignation, the 58-year-old denied any wrongdoing and said he did not understand why he was under investigation.
Appointed in 2022, Adriansyah led several high-profile corruption cases, including investigations involving the National Nutrition Agency, former Trade Minister Thomas Lembong, state energy company Pertamina, and other major government-related corruption cases.
The investigation remains ongoing as Indonesian authorities continue examining the alleged corruption network.
