On Tuesday, 10 February, the KPK searched Wayan Eka’s office and official residence as part of an investigation into alleged bribery in handling a land dispute case at Depok District Court. Investigators seized various pieces of evidence, including documents and cash valued at US$50,000, believed to be connected to the case. This evidence will be further verified against statements from witnesses and suspects during examination.
The KPK has designated Wayan Eka, Deputy Head of Depok District Court Bambang Setyawan, and court clerk Yohansyah Maruanaya as suspects for receiving bribes related to the land dispute handling.
Meanwhile, PT Karabha Digdaya (KD) Chief Executive Officer Trisnadi Yulrisman and KD’s Head of Corporate Legal Berliana Tri Kusuma have been designated by the KPK as suspects for giving bribes.
The suspects are alleged to have violated Article 605(a) and/or Article 606(1) of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code (KUHP) read together with the Anti-Corruption Act (UU Tipikor). Bambang Setyawan has additionally been charged with the gratification offence under Article 12B of the Anti-Corruption Act.
The KPK detained all five suspects for the initial 20-day period from 6 to 25 February 2025 at the KPK Red and White Building State Detention Centre (Rutan). The detention has been extended for a further 40 days.
