Febrie was accused of money laundering while serving as the country's top anti-corruption prosecutor, Assistant Attorney General for Oversight Rudi Margono told reporters lately.

Febrie stepped down on July 11 after serving in the role for more than four years, following the raids on properties, including his house outside Jakarta.

Investigators seized $19 million in various currencies and 74 kg of gold bars worth millions more.

After hours of questioning, Febrie denied any wrongdoing and said he was a victim of "criminalization" in comments to local TV. His lawyer Febri Diansyah said his client hoped that "the legal process can proceed fairly."

The investigation against Febrie was initiated by police, then handed over to anti-corruption specialists in his former office.
