The whereabouts of former assistant attorney general for special crimes Febrie Adriansyah remain a mystery, which has increased scrutiny of the handling of the graft case in which he has been implicated, particularly following the controversial handover of the investigation from the National Police to the Attorney General’s Office (AGO).Febrie’s name first surfaced when the police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipidkor) conducted over a dozen raids across Greater Jakarta last week, during which they seized Rp 476 billion (US$26.3 million) in various currencies and stacks of gold bars at one house in Sentul, Bogor, West Java.

The raids were part of the police’s probe into alleged corruption in coal procurement for state-owned electricity firm PLN, which allegedly contributed to recent nationwide blackouts. The probe later expanded to include other cases pertaining to state insurer PT Asabri and several other state-owned enterprises (SOEs).
