A
ssistant Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Febrie Adriansyah has tendered his resignation amid a heightened police investigation into an alleged corruption case in which he appears to be implicated.
Despite his dismissal of any corruption allegations a few hours earlier, the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) confirmed on Saturday morning that Febrie had formally resigned from his position.
“Attorney General [ST Burhanuddin] has accepted the resignation of Febrie Adriansyah as assistant attorney general for special crimes,” said AGO spokesperson Anang Supriatna in a statement on Saturday.
Anang said Febrie’s resignation would not stop ongoing corruption investigations at the AGO, including cases that were within Febrie’s remit.
“[The resignation] is a form of commitment to maintain the integrity, objectivity and neutrality of the ongoing investigation by the National Police.”
