According to the official website of the AGO's Legal Information Center, Febrie Adriansyah was born in Jakarta on February 19, 1968. Despite being born in the capital, he completed his education from elementary school through university in Jambi.
Febrie began his career as a prosecutor in 1996 at the Sungai Penuh District Attorney's Office in Kerinci. He later rose through the ranks, serving as Head of the Intelligence Section at the same office, which was his final assignment in Jambi.
His career then took him to several strategic positions, including Head of the Bandung District Attorney's Office, Assistant for Special Crimes at the East Java High Prosecutor's Office, Deputy at the Yogyakarta High Prosecutor's Office, Deputy at the Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office, and Head of the East Nusa Tenggara High Prosecutor's Office.
Febrie also served as Director of Investigation at the Deputy Attorney General's Office for Special Crimes before being appointed Head of the Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office. He was inaugurated in the position on July 29, 2021.
Five months later, the AGO promoted Febrie to become Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes. He officially assumed the Jampidsus position after his inauguration on January 6, 2022.
Major Cases Handled by Febrie
During his tenure at the Jampidsus office, Febrie handled several major corruption cases, including those involving state insurers PT Asuransi Jiwasraya and PT Asabri, as well as the credit facility case involving state-owned lender PT Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN).

Based on the Corruption Eradication Commission's (KPK) State Officials' Wealth Report (LHKPN), Febrie's assets increased from Rp6.3 billion in 2022 to more than Rp18 billion in 2023.
The increase was mainly attributed to inherited land and buildings measuring 638 square meters in South Jakarta, valued at Rp10.8 billion.
His latest report, dated December 31, 2025, recorded total assets of Rp18.26 billion.
Febrie and the 2024 Surveillance Incident
Febrie previously drew public attention following an alleged surveillance incident involving personnel from the National Police's counterterrorism unit Densus 88 in May 2024.
The incident occurred on Sunday, May 19, 2024, at De'Clan Signature Cafe on Jalan Cilandak Tengah, Cipete, South Jakarta. The restaurant later became one of the locations searched by police in the 2026 corruption investigation.
According to two Tempo sources familiar with the incident, Febrie was having dinner at the restaurant when two casually dressed men entered and requested a seat in the smoking area on the second floor. Febrie was dining on the same floor inside a glass-walled VIP room.
The two men reportedly continued wearing masks despite claiming they wanted to smoke. One of them allegedly pointed a device believed to be a recording tool toward Febrie's room, prompting suspicion from military police personnel assigned to guard him.
One of the men was later taken out of the restaurant, while the other escaped. The detained individual was later identified as a Densus 88 officer. He was subsequently released, and the Police's Internal Security Bureau took over the matter.
Before the device was returned, Febrie's security team reportedly copied data from the officer's mobile phone.
Febrie later contacted then-National Police Criminal Investigation Department chief Commissioner General Wahyu Widada to seek clarification over the alleged surveillance. Wahyu said he was unaware of the operation and requested the officer's release.
The incident was later confirmed by then-Head of the AGO Legal Information Center Ketut Sumedana, who said the matter had been resolved between the two institutions.
Then-National Police spokesperson Inspector General Shandi Nugroho also confirmed that the Police Professional and Security Division had examined the personnel involved in the incident.
