A witness in the alleged criminal act of corruption related to conflicts of interest in the procurement of goods and services within the Pekalongan Regency administration,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters on Tuesday (12/5/2026). Budi stated that both were examined at the Merah Putih Building of the KPK in Kuningan, South Jakarta. However, Budi did not detail what the investigators would delve into with the two witnesses. “The examination was conducted at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building,” Budi remarked. In this case, the KPK continues to investigate the flow of corrupt funds received by Fadia. The KPK examined a witness named Ryan Savero on Monday (11/5). This witness from the business sector was questioned by investigators regarding the money received by Fadia. “Investigators are delving into the witness’s knowledge regarding the alleged receipt of money by suspect FAR,” Budi told reporters on Tuesday (12/5). Budi added that KPK investigators are also exploring the purpose of the money given to Fadia during her tenure as Regent of Pekalongan. “Investigators will continue to trace the intent and purpose of that money flow,” he added. Previously, the KPK also examined Fadia’s husband, Mukhtaruddin Ashraff Abu. The KPK questioned him about the flow of money in the case implicating Fadia. “Certainly, with his capacity as a commissioner or as the majority shareholder of PT RNB, what are his roles, including those related to the alleged money flow,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK building in Kuningan, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (29/4). Ashraff himself received a flow of money from the case implicating Fadia. Ashraff serves as commissioner of PT Raja Nusantara Berjaya, a company founded with his child. “Because this RNB company, when it won the outsourcing services procurement project, then there were payments from the agencies,” he said. In this case, Fadia ordered regional apparatus to award contracts to her company in the outsourcing services tender procurement. Fadia’s family company itself received Rp 46 billion from 2023 to 2026, which was then distributed. Here is the breakdown: - Pekalongan Regent Fadia Arafiq: Rp 5.5 billion; - Fadia’s husband, Ashraff: Rp 1.1 billion; - Director of PT RNB Rul Bayatun: Rp 2.3 billion; - Fadia’s child, Sabiq: Rp 4.6 billion; - Fadia’s child, Mehnaz Na: Rp 2.5 billion; - And cash withdrawals of Rp 3 billion. Fadia has now been named a suspect and is detained by the KPK. She is charged under Article 12 letter i and Article 12 B of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 127 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code. The KPK has seized vehicles from several parties at Fadia Arafiq’s official residence up to Cibubur. The details are Wuling Air EV, Mitsubishi Xpander, Toyota Camry, Toyota Fortuner, and Toyota Vellfire.
