JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned seven witnesses related to the alleged corruption case involving a conflict of interest that ensnared the suspended Regent of Pekalongan, Fadia Arafiq, on Monday (20/4/2026).

They are Ruben R Prabu Faza, a member of the Pekalongan Regency DPRD; Dendy Setiadi Setiawan, representative of PT Raja Nusantara Berjaya; Jalaludin, an ASN from the Pekalongan Regency Government; Lingkan Anggi Alfianto, an ASN from the Pekalongan Regency Government; Siti Hanikatun, an ASN from the Regency Government; Teguh Sri Prabowo, a leader at the Bank BPD Jateng Kajen Branch; and Heri Pebrianto, an employee at the Big Boss Restaurant.

“The examination was conducted at the Pekalongan City Police Resort,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in his statement on Monday.

However, Budi has not yet disclosed the material to be explored from the examination of these witnesses.

Fadia is alleged to be involved in a complete chain: establishing a family company, PT Raja Nusantara Berjaya (RNB), participating in procurement projects within the Pekalongan Regency Government, directing subordinates to award contracts to her company, and then billions of rupiah in profits flowing back to her family circle.

The KPK revealed that Fadia gained significant benefits alongside the numerous procurement projects for goods and services carried out by PT RNB in various Regional Devices of the Pekalongan Regency Government.

Moreover, most of PT RNB’s employees were Fadia’s success team, employed in various parts of the Pekalongan Regency Government.

Looking further, during 2023-2026, there were incoming transactions to PT RNB worth Rp 46 billion sourced from contracts between PT RNB and Regional Devices in the Pekalongan Regency Government.

Then, from that money, only Rp 22 billion was used for outsourcing employee salaries.

The remainder, among others, was enjoyed and distributed to the Regent’s family, totaling Rp 19 billion (approximately 40 percent of the total transactions).

For her actions, Fadia is charged with committing the criminal act of corruption as regulated in Article 12 letter i and Article 12 B of Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001 on Amendments to Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 127 paragraph (1) of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code (KUHP).
