Indonesia’s top corruption prosecutor resigns, days after police broaden an investigation that includes raids on his home and other locations. Bloomberg reports that the prosecutor quits following a police raid that uncovered gold bars and millions of dollars in cash. Al Jazeera says police seize 74 kilograms of gold bars and about $20 million in cash in different currencies as part of the case.
Free Malaysia Today reports that the resignation follows raids carried out across at least 12 locations, including properties linked to assistant attorney general for special crimes Febrie Adriansyah. The same outlet says Adriansyah steps down after the police operation and the seizure of gold and cash. The coverage across outlets describes the resignations as occurring shortly after the raids and notes that authorities expand their police probe.
Taken together, the reports indicate that the resignation is connected to police action and evidence found during searches, including large quantities of gold and substantial amounts of cash, and that the investigation involves multiple sites associated with the prosecutor’s office and linked individuals.
