ndonesia Police Watch (IPW) has reported two officials from the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), including a public prosecutor who recently caught media attention for allegedly being spied on by counterterrorism officers.

It was the latest move in a development that has raised concerns about police overreach and behind-the-scenes machinations, stoking friction between the National Police and the AGO, two of the nation’s leading law enforcement agencies with deep political links.

Febrie Adriansyah, assistant attorney-general for special crimes (Jampidsus), is among those who IPW head Sugeng Teguh Santoso reported to the KPK on Monday for the suspected misappropriation of seized assets set up for auction by the AGO’s Asset Recovery Center (PPA).

Sugeng told reporters in Jakarta that Febrie and several other parties had allegedly misappropriated the assets, specifically shares from a company previously embroiled in a case handled by public prosecutors, resulting in state losses of Rp 9.3 trillion (US$578.5 million).

“We have reported ST, head of the PPA as the official who set the limit of the auction price [and] Febrie Adriansyah, the assistant attorney-general who approved the setting of the limit,” Sugeng said at the KPK headquarters in South Jakarta.

Additionally, Sugeng also reported officials from the Finance Ministry’s state assets department and the Public Audit Office (KJPP), as well as three private sector beneficiaries of the auction of seized assets.

The KPK’s ad interim chief Nawawi Pomolango told the press separately that the antigraft body would proceed with the case if and when it got clearance from its department of public reports and complaints.
