KPK Detains Four Suspects in Bank BJB Advertising Procurement Corruption Case
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has detained four suspects in a corruption case involving the procurement of advertising at Bank BJB in West Java. They were detained today after being questioned at the KPK’s Red and White Building in Kuningan, South Jakarta.
The four suspects detained are:
Widi Hartoto, Head of the Corporate Secretary Division at Bank BJB (2020-2024)
Ikin Asikin Dulmanan, Director of PT Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri and owner of PT Antedja Muliatama
Sophan Jaya Kusuma, Commissioner of PT Cipta Karya Sukses Bersama
Suhendrik, Director of PT Wahana Semesta Bandung Ekspres
They are being held for an initial 20-day period. “The four suspects have been detained for the first 20 days, from 10 August to 29 August 2026, at the KPK Red and White Building Detention Centre,” said Acting KPK Director of Investigation Achmad Taufik Husein during a press conference on Monday (10/8/2026).
Taufik explained that investigators had actually summoned all five suspects in the case. However, suspect Yuddy Renaldi, the former president director of Bank BJB, did not attend due to illness. “Meanwhile, Mr YR (Yuddy Renaldi) requested a rescheduling of today’s examination because he is unwell,” Taufik said. “We will immediately reschedule for subsequent coercive measures.”
The case spans from 2021 to 2023, when Bank BJB spent on advertising products managed by the Corporate Secretary Division. The programme cost Rp 409 billion for media advertising, involving cooperation with six agencies. However, the amount paid did not match that figure. The appointment of the agencies also did not comply with applicable regulations.
Former Bank BJB president director Yuddy Renaldi, together with Corporate Secretary Division Head Widi Hartoto, allegedly arranged the agency procurement as a means for kickbacks. Widi Hartoto then conducted a procurement process for agency services that violated regulations by drafting an owner’s estimate document based on agency fees rather than the value of the work, in order to avoid a tender. Additionally, the procurement committee was instructed not to verify provider documents according to standard operating procedures. A supplementary assessment was also created after bid submissions, resulting in post-bidding.
In this case, the suspects are charged under Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption. The KPK has named five suspects in total. Their actions are suspected to have caused state losses of up to Rp 222 billion. The KPK suspects the money was used to meet non-budgetary requirements.
