KPK Administrative Staff Allegedly Received Money from Father in Extortion Case

Setya Budi Dias Oktavianto, a police officer serving as administrative staff at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), is alleged to have frequently received money from his father, Lilik Budi Suprianto, prior to the exposure of an extortion case involving Pemalang Regent Anom Widiyantoro. This was revealed through electronic evidence and witness statements.

KPK Acting Director of Investigations Achmad Taufik Husein stated that Lilik exploited his son’s position within the anti-graft body to obtain information regarding case handling. This information was then used to approach and extort the regent. ‘The regent felt he could trust this because the person, LBS, showed that his child was at the KPK, and there were also administrative documents related to cases in Pemalang,’ Taufik explained during a press conference at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in Jakarta on Thursday (30/7).

The KPK has detained four suspects for an initial 20-day period, from 30 July to 18 August 2026. The suspects are Pemalang Regent Anom Widiyantoro, his confidant Mohamad Haris, KPK administrative staff member Setya Budi Dias Oktavianto, and his father Lilik Budi Suprianto. Anom and Haris are charged under Article 12 e and/or Article 12B of the Corruption Eradication Law, while Lilik and Dias face charges under Article 12 e of the same law in conjunction with the Criminal Code.
