The case against Febrie Adriansyah has been formally transferred to the South Jakarta District Prosecutor's Office, according to detikNews, clearing the way for him to stand trial. The handover, known in Indonesian procedure as a phase-two transfer, covers both the suspect and the evidence in the case. The Attorney General's Office published its own notice of the transfer, describing the delivery of suspect FA and the case items to prosecutors in South Jakarta.
The transfer marks the point at which investigators hand a case to the prosecution service, which then prepares the indictment and brings the matter before a court. Febrie, identified in the Attorney General's Office notice by the initials FA, is expected to be tried soon, detikNews reported.
The case has drawn wider attention. Kompas.com reported that Febrie referred to a database held by the Attorney General's Office and said, in effect, that it is known who is involved in major cases. Separately, ANTARA News reported that Febrie's side claims land seized by the Attorney General's Office was bought before the money-laundering allegations at issue. Okezone reported that the Attorney General's Office seized 38 assets worth Rp846 billion, while his legal counsel said the assets do not belong to Febrie.
Those claims come from Febrie's representatives and have not been confirmed in the reporting summarized here. What happens next depends on the prosecutors in South Jakarta: once they file the case, a trial schedule will follow, and the court will weigh the evidence both sides present.
