KPK examines two witnesses in BRI EDC machine rental payment probe

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined two witnesses on Tuesday (23/6) as part of an investigation into rental payments for electronic data capture (EDC) machines at state-owned PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) or BRI.

“Both witnesses attended. Investigators sought information from the witnesses regarding the EDC machine rental payments,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told journalists in Jakarta on Wednesday.

Budi said the two witnesses were the acting Senior Manager of BRI’s Retail Payment Division in 2020, identified by the initials NUG, and IMJ, who served as Head of the Merchant Implementation Management Section of BRI’s Retail Payment Division from 2020 to 2021.

The KPK previously announced on 26 June 2025 that it had launched an investigation into alleged corruption in the procurement of EDC machines.

On 30 June 2025, the KPK disclosed that the EDC procurement project was valued at Rp2.1 trillion and imposed a six-month overseas travel ban on 13 individuals. Those prevented from travelling abroad bear the initials CBH, IU, DS, MI, AJ, IS, AWS, IP, KS, EL, NI, RSK, and SRD.

The KPK stated on 1 July 2025 that state losses in the case had provisionally reached Rp700 billion, equivalent to 30 per cent of the total project value of Rp2.1 trillion.

On 9 July 2025, the KPK named five suspects in the case: former BRI Deputy President Director Catur Budi Harto (CBH), former BRI Digital and Information Technology Director and current Allo Bank President Director Indra Utoyo (IU), BRI Senior Executive Vice President of Asset Management and Procurement Dedi Sunardi (DS), President Director of PT Pasifik Cipta Solusi Elvizar (EL), and President Director of PT Bringin Inti Teknologi Rudy Suprayudi Kartadidjaja (RSK).
