The lawyer of the suspect Don Ritto, Handika Honggowongso, claimed that the money and gold seized by investigators in the case of alleged corruption and money laundering were not owned by the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah (25/7/2026).
Handika considered that the Task Force 9 established by the Attorney General’s Office was too quick to link the evidence with Febrie.
“The facts related to the amount of money found during the seizure and search by the Kortas team at De’Clan restaurant, money changer, and in Sentul (house), according to our client and other evidence, are not related to or owned by Mr. Febrie,” said Handika in a video statement received on Saturday (25/7/2026).
According to Handika, his client has explained the origin of the money and gold as well as their intended use.
Therefore, he believed that investigators should have first formally and materially tested the relevance of the evidence.
“Our client has clearly explained the origin and purpose of the money and gold. Task Force 9 should have tested the relevance formally and materially,” said Handika.
He also revealed that the owners of the seized money and gold plan to file a pretrial lawsuit with the South Jakarta District Court.
However, Handika did not specify the exact timing of the lawsuit filing.
“It is possible that the owners of the gold and money in the form of Singapore dollars or US dollars will file a pretrial lawsuit against the seizure of their assets at the South Jakarta District Court as soon as possible,” said Handika.
Furthermore, Handika believed that the Task Force 9 of the Attorney General’s Office was under pressure when handling the case.
“This is a tough day, because we know that Task Force 9 formed by the Attorney General’s Office is under immense pressure, facing extraordinary dilemmas. Making decisions that are political and aimed at maintaining the institution’s integrity from narratives attacking the former Jampidsus,” said Handika.
Meanwhile, the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah, also responded to the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold seized during a search at his house in Sentul, Bogor.
Febrie requested that the ownership of the gold be directly asked to the investigators of the Attorney General’s Office.
“Let the prosecutor investigators see who owns it and what it is used for, then ask the investigators for an answer,” said Febrie before being taken to the KPK Detention Center on Friday night (24/7/2026).
