KPK Considers Forcibly Bringing in Model Fitri Assiddikki Over BI CSR Case

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is considering forcibly bringing in model and former expert staffer to House of Representatives member Heri Gunawan, Fitri Assiddikki, after she failed to appear for her fourth summons today. Fitri is a witness in a case concerning alleged gratuity acceptance and money laundering related to corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes at Bank Indonesia (BI) and the Financial Services Authority (OJK). KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that investigators would consider measures to compel her attendance. “Investigators will later consider the next steps, whether to coordinate for a future schedule or to make an effort to bring the person in by issuing a warrant to bring the individual concerned,” Budi said at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in Jakarta on Tuesday (23/6). Fitri was previously summoned for examination on 9, 11, 15, and 23 June 2026, but she never attended. “We will see what the investigators’ need is for this witness, because in this case, besides strengthening evidence of the alleged misappropriation of CSR funds disbursed by Bank Indonesia and OJK, investigators are also focused on asset tracing,” Budi explained. “So, money that should have been for social programme activities was diverted into private pockets and then flowed to several parties,” he continued. The KPK has named Heri Gunawan and his parliamentary colleague Satori as suspects in the case of alleged gratuity acceptance and money laundering related to social programmes at BI and OJK. However, both have not been detained and remain active in parliament with all their attached rights. Their suspect status was announced by the KPK in August 2025. During the ongoing investigation, the KPK has examined many witnesses, including from the House of Representatives, BI, and OJK. Testimony from these witnesses supports investigators in completing the case files. The KPK confirmed it will continue to collect evidence of irregularities in the BI and OJK social programmes allegedly misused by Satori and Heri Gunawan. Satori and Heri Gunawan are charged with violating Article 12 B of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 (1) of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code. Both are also charged under articles stipulated in Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 (1) of the Criminal Code. Satori allegedly received a total of Rp12.52 billion. The breakdown includes Rp6.30 billion from BI through the PSBI programme, Rp5.14 billion from OJK through financial education activities, and Rp1.04 billion from other partners of House Commission XI. From all the money received, Satori allegedly laundered the funds by using them for personal purposes, such as deposits, land purchases, construction of a showroom, purchase of two-wheeled vehicles, and acquisition of other assets. Satori is also suspected of engineering banking transactions by asking a regional bank to disguise the placement and withdrawal of deposits so they would not be identified on bank statements. Meanwhile, Heri Gunawan allegedly received a total of Rp15.86 billion. The breakdown is Rp6.26 billion from BI through the PSBI programme, Rp7.64 billion from OJK through financial education activities, and Rp1.94 billion from other House Commission XI partners. Heri Gunawan is also suspected of money laundering by transferring all receipts through a foundation he manages to a personal account via transfer methods. He then allegedly instructed his subordinates to open new accounts to hold the disbursed funds through cash deposit methods. Heri Gunawan is suspected of using funds from the holding accounts for personal interests, including the construction of a restaurant, management of a beverage outlet, purchase of land and buildings, and purchase of four-wheeled vehicles.
