JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seized nine luxury watch boxes belonging to former Pekalongan Regent Fadia Arafiq during a raid in Pekalongan in early March 2026.

KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that of the nine boxes, only five contained watches.

“During the raid, investigators seized nine luxury watch boxes. However, only five watches were found inside them,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said at the Merah Putih building in Jakarta on Monday (25/5/2026).

“The invoices inside the watch boxes are being verified with the witness called today,” he added.

Budi said most of Fadia Arafiq’s watches were Rolex brands.

He added that investigators are still tracing other luxury watches.

“The whereabouts of these watches will continue to be investigated,” he said.

The material was examined during the KPK’s questioning of the INTime Senayan City boutique manager as a witness in the alleged corruption case involving Fadia in public procurement on Monday (25/5/2026).

“The witness was questioned regarding the alleged purchase of luxury Rolex watches by suspect FAR,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said in a statement on Monday.

The KPK formally named Fadia Arafiq as a suspect in an alleged public procurement corruption case within the Pekalongan Regency government on Wednesday (4/3/2026).

In the case, Fadia is suspected of orchestrating a series of actions: establishing a family-owned company, PT Raja Nusantara Berjaya (RNB), participating in procurement projects within the Pekalongan Regency government, directing subordinates to secure contracts for her company, and funneling billions of rupiah in profits back to her family circle.

The KPK revealed that Fadia profited significantly from PT RNB’s numerous public procurement projects across various departments of the Pekalongan Regency government.

Furthermore, most of PT RNB’s staff were Fadia’s campaign team members employed across various Pekalongan Regency government offices.
