KPK Chair: Investigators Still Reviewing Documents, Ridwan Kamil Not Yet Re-Examined

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Setyo Budiyanto, stated that the agency has not yet re-examined former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil in the alleged corruption case regarding advertisement procurement at Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten (BJB). Setyo explained that the reason is because the investigative team is still examining a number of documents. “Yes, it’s being reviewed, being studied—what’s there from the financial documents and so on. Perhaps the investigators need to first confirm his status and such, before another summons can be carried out,” said Setyo at the Merah Putih Building, Jakarta, on Tuesday (7/4/2026). Regarding Ridwan Kamil’s legal status in this case, he emphasised that it will entirely follow the developments of the facts that emerge in the trial. Previously, the KPK discovered activities by former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil involving the exchange of billions of rupiah into foreign currency during the period 2021-2024. KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said that this finding is related to the alleged corruption case in advertisement procurement at Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten (Bank BJB). “So far, we have captured that there is an alleged exchange of rupiah into foreign currency valued at billions of rupiah,” said Budi at the KPK Merah Putih Building, Jakarta, on Friday (30/1/2026). In this regard, Budi confirmed that the KPK is currently delving into Ridwan Kamil’s activities both domestically and abroad. On the other hand, the KPK is also examining communications between former Ridwan Kamil and parties at Bank BJB related to the alleged corruption in advertisement procurement at Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten (Bank BJB). All these investigations have shifted after the KPK completed focus on the first cluster, namely the alleged deviations and conditioning in the advertisement procurement process. Then, the controllers of Antedja Muliatama and Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri agencies, Ikin Asikin Dulmanan; the controllers of BSC Advertising and Wahana Semesta Bandung Ekspress agencies, Suhendrik; and the controller of Cipta Karya Sukses Bersama, Sophan Jaya Kusuma. KPK investigators estimate that the state losses due to the alleged corruption at Bank BJB amount to Rp 222 billion.
