Indonesia’s top anti-corruption prosecutor resigns after police raids uncover large amounts of cash and gold at multiple properties linked to him, according to several outlets. Bloomberg and other reports say the resignation follows raids on the prosecutor’s home and other locations as part of a widening police investigation into alleged corruption and related misconduct. The police seizures include gold bars and cash in multiple currencies. Al Jazeera reports that 74 kg of gold bars and $20 million in various currencies are seized. Channel NewsAsia adds specific figures for cash, citing US$5.8 million and S$17.2 million (about US$13.3 million) alongside 74 kg of gold bars. Financial Times frames the episode as part of an escalation in a “turf war” between agencies, while reporting that authorities seize dozens of gold bars and millions of dollars in cash. Free Malaysia Today and GMA News Online say the prosecutor is the assistant attorney general for special crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, and note that raids expand to at least a dozen locations, including properties linked to him. The Attorney General’s Office announces the resignation, while police actions continue as part of the investigation.
