KPK Seizes Porsche from Silmy Karim's Residence; Vehicle Unreported in Wealth Declaration
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has seized two luxury Porsche vehicles from the residence of Silmy Karim, the Deputy Minister of Immigration and Correctional Services for 2025-2026, after discovering they were not declared in his official state official wealth report (LHKPN). During a search of his home in Kebayoran Baru on Friday (5/6), the KPK also seized various other items of evidence allegedly linked to an extortion case involving foreign national (WNA) stay permits and/or the receipt of gratifications within the Directorate General of Immigration between 2022 and 2026.
According to the KPK’s e-LHKPN portal, Silmy Karim’s declared wealth is valued at Rp234 billion. His reported vehicle assets include a 2003 Harley Davidson (Rp450 million), a 1998 Harley Davidson (Rp450 million), a 1988 Jeep CJ7 (Rp275 million), a 1979 Mercedes Benz 280E (Rp500 million), a 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser (Rp350 million), a 1996 Jeep Wrangler (Rp450 million), and a 2022 Mercedes G63 (Rp6 billion).
In addition to the Porsches, the search yielded Indonesian Rupiah and foreign currencies (US Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Euro, and Yen), 10 motorcycles ranging from Vespas to heavy motorcycles, 7 bicycles, and various pieces of jewellery. The search at the South Jakarta residence lasted approximately five hours, and the seized items have been moved to the KPK’s storage facility (Rupbasan) in Cawang, East Jakarta.
In addition to Silmy, seven other individuals are currently being processed by the KPK, including the Acting Director General of Immigration for 2024-2025, Saffar Muhammad Godam, and several directors and heads of immigration offices. The suspects have been detained for an initial 20-day period from 4 June to 23 June 2026 at the KPK detention centre. The suspects are facing charges under Article 12 letter e and/or Article 12B of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes, in conjunction with Article 20 letter c of Law Number 1 of 2023 (the Criminal Code). The investigation into the alleged extortion and gratification within the Directorate General of Immigration was initiated following a sting operation (OTT) conducted in Jakarta, West Java, and Bali on 2-3 June 2026.
