Indonesia: Attorney General's Young Deputy Followed by Densus 88 Personnel

Jakarta, Indonesia - A young deputy attorney general in Indonesia, Febrie Adriansyah, was reportedly followed by personnel from Densus 88, an elite counterterrorism unit, while he was having dinner at a restaurant in South Jakarta on Sunday evening.

The incident has sparked speculation and raised concerns about possible attempts to protect high-ranking law enforcement officials involved in certain cases.

According to sources, two men suspected of being Densus 88 members arrived at the restaurant after Febrie and his entourage. They sat at a table on the second floor and appeared to be observing Febrie's movements.

Febrie's security detail, consisting of military police officers, grew suspicious of the men and eventually confronted them. One of the Densus 88 personnel was apprehended, while the other managed to escape.

The captured Densus 88 member's phone data was reportedly extracted before he was released and picked up by members of the Internal Security Bureau (Paminal).

The incident has raised concerns about possible interference in Febrie's work, as he is currently handling several high-profile corruption cases, including a massive corruption case related to the tin trade in Bangka Belitung worth Rp 271 trillion (US$18.6 billion).

Febrie has also previously investigated other high-profile corruption cases, such as those involving Jiwasraya, Asabri, Garuda Indonesia, and the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology's Base Transceiver Station (BTS) project.

The incident has also highlighted the potential tension between the Indonesian National Police (Polri) and the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung). While both agencies have denied any wrongdoing, the incident has raised questions about the transparency and accountability of law enforcement in Indonesia.
