Indonesia’s top anti-corruption prosecutor resigns after police found gold, $20 million cash in his home
A top Indonesian anti-corruption prosecutor, Febrie Adriansyah, has resigned after police raided his home and found gold bars and $20 million cash in different currencies.
Indonesia’s Attorney General’s Office said in a statement on Saturday that Mr Adriansyah resigned “to maintain the integrity, objectivity, and neutrality of law enforcement.”
Indonesian authorities have yet to formally charge Mr Adriansyah with any crimes.
However, his resignation comes amid anti-corruption raids across Jakarta, South Tangerang, and Bogor on July 8 and 9.
This is linked to a corruption and bribery scandal that Indonesian authorities believe caused electricity blackouts in some parts of the country.
During the raids, police found and seized 74kg of gold bars and $20 million in Indonesian rupiah, U.S. dollars, Singapore dollars, and Saudi riyals. A large portion of these were found in a home belonging to Mr Adriansyah.
Mr Adriansyah, 58, who was appointed special crimes prosecutor four years ago, has denied any wrongdoing.
