Former Depok District Court Chief Judge Refiles Pre-Trial Challenge Against KPK
Former Depok District Court Chief Judge I Wayan Eka Mariarta has refiled a pre-trial challenge against the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) at the South Jakarta District Court. The lawsuit concerns asset seizures in a corruption case.
The pre-trial application, registered as case number 70/Pid.Pra/2026/PN JKT.SEL on 13 May 2026, lists I Wayan Eka Mariarta as the applicant and the KPK as the respondent, according to the South Jakarta District Court’s website. The initial hearing was scheduled for today, but the KPK has requested a postponement.
KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told reporters on Monday (25 May 2026) that the Legal Bureau had submitted the postponement request.
Eka previously filed a pre-trial challenge against the KPK regarding asset seizures in the same land dispute bribery case, but the court rejected it. Judges ruled the seizures were lawful, and the KPK confirmed ongoing investigations.
“In line with the ruling, the KPK assures that the investigation will continue. Investigators will thoroughly examine all evidence, interview suspected parties, and trace money flows to fully uncover the structure of the alleged corruption case,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo on Wednesday (22 April).
The case against Eka began with a KPK anti-corruption raid. The KPK subsequently named I Wayan Eka Mariarta, former Depok District Court Deputy Chief Bambang Setyawan, and Depok District Court bailiff Yohansyah Maruanaya as suspects in a bribery case involving land dispute handling. They were arrested during a raid that involved a chase.
The suspects’ identities are as follows:
I Wayan Eka Mariarta (EKA), former Depok District Court Chief Judge;
Bambang Setyawan (BBG), former Depok District Court Deputy Chief;
Yohansyah Maruanaya (YOH), Depok District Court bailiff;
Trisnadi Yulrisman (TRI), CEO of PT KD;
Berliana Tri Ikusuma (BER), Head of Corporate Legal at PT KD.
Eka and Bambang are suspected of demanding a Rp1 billion fee for handling the case. In addition to the bribery allegations, Bambang is also under investigation for suspected gratification, having allegedly received Rp2.5 billion from foreign currency exchange deposits by PT DMV between 2025 and 2026.
