KPK Traces Trail of Currency Exchange by Regent Fadia Arafiq
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has begun tracing the assets of inactive Pekalongan Regent Fadia Arafiq, which are suspected to be related to an alleged corruption case.
The tracing is being conducted through the examination of two witnesses named Lingkan Anggi Alfianto, a staff member of PT Raja Nusantara Berjaya (RNB), and Irana Subramono (private sector), on Tuesday (5/5).
Based on the information obtained, only Irana attended the KPK’s examination summons.
“Today, investigators are also conducting examinations related to asset tracing, specifically regarding the foreign currency exchanges carried out by the suspect Mr. FAR, the former Regent of Pekalongan,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo at the Red and White Building, Jakarta, on Tuesday (5/5) night.
“The money exchanged is suspected to be related to this case,” he added.
Previously, on Wednesday, 29 April 2026, the KPK had examined Fadia’s husband, who is a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) and Commissioner of PT RNB, Ashraff Abu.
The KPK suspects that PT RNB is controlled by Fadia’s family to receive Goods and Services Procurement (PBJ) projects within the Pekalongan Regency Government.
The examination of Ashraff Abu was to delve into his role in the company.
“What his roles are, including those related to alleged fund flows because this RNB company, when it wins outsourcing service procurement projects, receives payments from the agencies. Well, these payments are then managed by parties in PT RNB under the control of the regent,” said Budi on Wednesday (29/4).
Investigators are tracing the flow of funds from PT RNB as well as the company’s monopolistic role in winning several procurement projects in various agencies of the Pekalongan Regency Government.
“Because there is an alleged intervention by the regent’s side that enabled this family company to win, even if, for example, its bid value was higher,” Budi explained.
Ashraff Abu remained silent when confirmed about his examination. He underwent the examination for about 5 hours.
The KPK has named Fadia as the sole suspect in the alleged corruption case of outsourcing service procurement and other procurements in the 2023-2026 fiscal years. Fadia is already detained at the KPK Branch Red and White Building State Detention Centre.
She is charged with violating Article 12 letter i and Article 12 B of Indonesian Law No. 31 of 1999 as amended by Indonesian Law No. 20 of 2001 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption (Anti-Corruption Law) in conjunction with Article 127 paragraph (1) of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code (KUHP).
The KPK suspects Fadia has full control over the inflow and outflow of funds at PT RNB.
The case was uncovered by the KPK through a raid operation conducted on Tuesday, 3 March in the early hours.
The KPK has extended Fadia’s detention period by 30 days, starting from 3 May to 1 June 2026.
