INDOPOSCO.ID – Indonesia’s Attorney General’s Office (AGO) said that a series of searches conducted by National Police (Polri) investigators at several locations on Wednesday (July 8, 2026) were part of standard legal procedures.
According to Anang Supriatna, Head of the AGO’s Legal Information Center, the searches fall within the scope of investigations that are under the authority and jurisdiction of the Indonesian National Police.
“We respect the ongoing investigative process, which is being carried out in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations,” Anang said in a statement in Jakarta on Thursday (July 9, 2026).
The Attorney General’s Office said it is awaiting the outcome of the police investigation. This includes updates on the locations searched, the status of evidence seized, and any individuals identified in connection with the legal process.
“This approach reflects our respect for the independence and authority of each law enforcement agency in carrying out its duties and functions,” Anang said.
He also urged the public not to draw premature conclusions or form one-sided opinions. He called on the public to avoid linking individuals or institutions to alleged criminal offenses based solely on speculation or unverified information.
The Attorney General’s Office reiterated that it respects the independence and authority of every law enforcement agency in performing its duties.
It said all law enforcement actions are carried out based on legally admissible evidence and in accordance with established legal procedures.
“We also encourage the public to rely on official information provided by the law enforcement authorities handling the case,” Anang added.
Separately, a joint team from the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor) and the Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) carried out searches at 12 locations in Jakarta and West Java on Wednesday (July 8, 2026).
According to police, the searches are related to an investigation into alleged corruption, bribery, and money laundering involving the governance of coal supplies for PT PLN (Persero)’s coal-fired power plants, which authorities say contributed to a major power outage.
The investigation also includes allegations concerning the handling of corruption cases involving PT Asabri and PT Krakatau Steel, in which the Director of Special Crimes at the Attorney General’s Office (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah, has been named in the investigation. Police have not announced any criminal charges against him as of the time of publication. (dan)
