He noted that the ethics process in the Depok District Court case is ongoing. Today, the KY team examined three witnesses.
“Today we have also conducted an examination involving the court bailiff and two external parties. Today we examined three witnesses. The examination was conducted by our subdirectorate team,” he said.

Previously, on 5 February 2026, the KPK conducted a hand-catch operation against judges in the Depok City area, West Java. The KPK explained that the operation was related to alleged corruption in the handling of a land dispute case.
On 6 February 2026, the KPK revealed that it had arrested seven people in the operation, consisting of the Chief and Deputy Chief of PN Depok, one person from PN Depok, one director and three employees of PT Karabha Digdaya, which is a subsidiary of the Ministry of Finance.
The KPK subsequently named five of the seven people as suspects in the alleged corruption case related to the receipt or promise of payment in the handling of a land dispute in the Depok District Court area, measuring 6,500 square metres in Tapos District.
They are Chief of PN Depok I Wayan Eka Marianta (EKA), Deputy Chief of PN Depok Bambang Setyawan (BBG), Court Bailiff of PN Depok Yohansyah Maruanaya (YOH), Director of Karabha Digdaya Trisnadi Yulrisman (TRI), and Head of Corporate Legal Karabha Digdaya Berliana Tri Kusuma (BER).
Additionally, the KPK named Bambang as a suspect in an alleged gratification offence after obtaining data from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK), which concerned the receipt of 2.5 billion rupiah from PT Daha Mulia Valasindo.
