Febrie Adriansyah Denies Extortion Charges at the Jakarta Anti-Corruption Court
Former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah denied allegations that he extorted property developer Tan Kian during a hearing at the Jakarta Corruption Court on Monday, Nov. 2, 2026. Tan Kian attended this subsequent court session alongside the defendant. Facing trial for alleged extortion and money laundering totaling Rp 346.7 billion and USD 440,990, Febrie dismissed claims presented by witness Ferry Yanto Hongkiriwang, also known as Ferry Boboho, as a targeted criminalization of his anti-corruption work.
According to reporting by detikNews, Febrie rejected assertions that he ever offered to drop a potential corruption case against Tan Kian or used phrases like “dinginkan” (cool it down) during discussions. Prosecutors allege that Febrie used Ferry Boboho as an intermediary to demand 5 million Singapore dollars from Tan Kian to prevent the businessman from being named a suspect in the PT Asuransi Jiwasraya corruption investigation. Kompas corroborated that the alleged extortion centered around the Jiwasraya case, with Tan Kian reportedly handing over the funds across three separate installments. During the proceedings, prosecutors also detailed that Febrie received funds from Tria Bellitonito Aturbumi, who serves as the President Director of PT Oktasan Baruna Persada.
Courtroom Security Orders Ejection of Suspected Informants During Witness Testimony
Presiding Akhmad Fijiarsyah Joko Sutrisno ordered courtroom security to eject two suspected informants from the gallery during Monday’s proceedings. ANTARA News Kalteng noted that the session brought together key figures including Tan Kian, Lustje Dewi Kusuma alias Lucy Kweek, and Ferry Boboho.
Lawyers representing Febrie Adriansyah brought the presence of the suspected informants to the attention of the bench early in the session, pointing out that individuals in the audience were transmitting witness statements to outside parties. According to CNN Indonesia, Febri Diansyah, counsel for Febrie, displayed mobile chat logs showing a gallery attendee messaging Lustje Dewi Kusuma—the person who originally introduced Tan Kian to Ferry Boboho—regarding the ongoing testimony. Acting on the complaint, Akhmad Fijiarsyah Joko Sutrisno instructed security officers to escort the two individuals out of the courtroom. As the lawyers spoke up, counsel Febri Diansyah noted inside the chamber that an additional person had just entered, stating Even one more person, Your Excellency
before the presiding judge immediately instructed security to Show me. Just show me and let the security out. I’ve got the information, please order me to leave.
