Indonesia's Assistant Attorney General Resigns After Assets Are Seized
印尼助理總檢察長在資產被沒收後辭職
Introduction
Febrie Adriansyah, the lead prosecutor for special crimes in Indonesia, has resigned from his post after police conducted raids and seized a large amount of assets.
印尼特別罪案首席檢察官 Febrie Adriansyah 在警方進行搜查並沒收大量資產後,已從其職位辭職。
Main Body
The resignation took place on July 11, following police operations on July 8 and 9. Officers searched twelve locations in Jakarta, Bogor, and South Tangerang, where they found 74 kilograms of gold bars and about $20 million in various currencies, including US, Singaporean, and Saudi Arabian dollars. A large part of these assets was found at Mr. Adriansyah's home in Bogor.
這次辭職發生於 7 月 11 日,隨後於 7 月 8 日和 9 日的警方行動之後。警員搜查了雅加達、茂 região 和南坦格朗的 12 個地點,在該處發現 74 公斤金條以及約 2,000 萬美元的各種貨幣,包括美元、新加坡元和沙烏地阿拉伯里亞爾。這些資產的大部分是在 Adriansyah 先生位於茂 região 的家中發現的。
These actions are part of larger investigations into systemic corruption. Specifically, authorities are looking into suspected bribery and money laundering related to the purchase of low-quality coal for state power plants, which is believed to have caused recent national electricity failures. Furthermore, the investigations are connected to fraud cases involving state insurance companies, Asabri and Jiwasraya.
這些行動是更大規模系統性貪污調查的一部分。具體而言,當局正在調查涉嫌與國有電廠採購低質量煤炭相關的賄賂和洗錢案,據信這導致了近期全國性的電力故障。此外,調查還與 Asabri 和 Jiwasraya 兩家國有保險公司涉及的詐騙案有關。
Before leaving, Mr. Adriansyah was responsible for several high-profile legal cases, including the prosecution of Nadiem Makarim and investigations into Thomas Lembong and Pertamina. He was also managing an inquiry into the National Nutrition Agency's school meal program. Although Mr. Adriansyah denied that the money and gold came from illegal activities, the Attorney General's Office emphasized that his resignation was necessary to ensure the judicial process remains neutral and objective.
在離職前,Adriansyah 先生負責數起備受關注的法律案件,包括對 Nadiem Makarim 的起訴,以及對 Thomas Lembong 和 Pertamina 的調查。他也管理著一項針對國家營養局學校膳食計劃的調查。雖然 Adriansyah 先生否認資金和金條來自非法活動,但總檢察長辦公室強調,他的辭職是必要的,以確保司法程序保持中立與客觀。
Conclusion
Mr. Adriansyah has stepped down from his role, but no formal criminal charges have been filed against him while the police continue their investigation.
Adriansyah 先生已卸任,但在警方繼續調查期間,尚未對其提出正式的刑事指控。

⚡ The 'B2 Power-Up': Moving from Simple to Complex Connections
An A2 student says: "The police searched houses. They found gold. Mr. Adriansyah resigned."
A B2 student says: "Mr. Adriansyah resigned after police conducted raids, where they found 74 kilograms of gold."
The Secret Ingredient: Relative Clauses & Conjunctions
To bridge the gap to B2, you must stop writing short, choppy sentences. You need to 'glue' your ideas together. Look at how this article does it:
"Officers searched twelve locations... where they found 74 kilograms of gold bars..."
Instead of starting a new sentence with "In those locations, they found...", the author uses "where" to connect the place directly to the action. This creates a flow that sounds professional and fluent.
🛠️ Upgrade Your Vocabulary: The 'Formal Shift'
At A2, we use 'general' words. At B2, we use 'precise' words. Notice these substitutions from the text:
| A2 (Basic) | B2 (Precise/Academic) | Context from Text |
|---|---|---|
| Give up job | Resign / Step down | ...resigned from his post |
| Take away | Seize | ...assets are seized |
| Big | Systemic / High-profile | ...systemic corruption |
| Fair | Neutral and objective | ...process remains neutral |
💡 Pro-Tip: The 'Passive' Perspective
In the phrase "assets are seized," the focus is not on who took them, but what happened to the money.
A2 Logic: The police seized the assets. (Subject Verb Object) B2 Logic: Assets were seized. (Object Verb)
Using the passive voice allows you to talk about official events, news, and crimes without always needing to name the person doing the action. This is a hallmark of B2-level English.
