JAKARTA, Legal Literacy — Actor Adly Fairuz's legal counsel denies the allegation that his client claimed to be a police general in a civil lawsuit concerning alleged fraud in the management of prospective members of the Police Academy (Akpol). The denial was conveyed following a breach of contract lawsuit worth nearly IDR 5 billion filed with the South Jakarta District Court.
Adly's legal counsel, Aga Khan, emphasized that the information circulating in public is not in accordance with the facts, including the issue that Adly claimed to be a Police General with the name General Ahmad.
“The allegation that Adly claimed to be a Police General is untrue and greatly harms our client,” said Aga when met in South Jakarta, recently.
According to Aga, the party giving the money should have known Adly's identity from the start. However, the transaction was still carried out and now places his client as the party who is entirely at fault.
Aga also denied the assumption that Adly was not responsible for the matter. He mentioned that his client had made efforts to return the money, although only partially.
“It is not true to say that our client is running away from responsibility. Some of the money has been returned,” he said.
Aga added that Adly is being cooperative and is ready to follow the entire legal process that is underway. He assessed that the developing news tends to corner his client as if he were the party who engineered the entire matter.
Adly's other legal counsel, Andi Gultom, also denied the existence of a breach of contract as argued in the lawsuit. He questioned the plaintiff's legal standing as the legitimate owner of the disputed money.
“The plaintiff's legal standing against the object of the lawsuit does not exist. The original owner of the money mentioned in this case does not appear in the lawsuit,” said Andi.
This case began in early 2023 when Abdul Hadi, through intermediary Agung Wahyono, was introduced to Adly Fairuz, who was claimed to be able to help pass his son as a prospective Akpol cadet. In the process, the victim was said to have deposited a total of IDR 3.65 billion.
However, after failing twice in the 2023 and 2024 Akpol selections, Adly's party signed a notarial deed in 2025 containing a commitment to return the funds. Of the total funds, only IDR 500 million has been returned, while the remainder has not been paid.
On that basis, a civil breach of contract lawsuit worth nearly IDR 5 billion was filed with the South Jakarta District Court in January 2026. In addition to the civil lawsuit, this case was also reported criminally to the East Jakarta Metro Police on suspicion of fraud and embezzlement.
