KPK Uncovers Irregular Fund Flows in Regional Development Bank Case

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has revealed that advertising procurement funds at Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten (bank bjb) for the 2021–2023 fiscal years were used in ways that did not match their intended purpose.

This was conveyed by the Acting Director of Investigations at the KPK, Achmad Taufik Husein, during a press conference on the detention of four of the five named suspects on Monday (10/8).

“There are facts in the current investigation process showing that the activities at bank bjb at that time included findings of unlawful conduct based on the audit results. These were then managed by bank bjb and used, among other things, for money derived from agency fees,” Taufik said at the Merah Putih Building in Jakarta on Monday (10/8) evening.

In connection with these allegations, the KPK examined former Member V of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK RI), Ahmadi Noor Supit, in August last year.

In addition, Taufik said investigators are also looking into non-budgetary funds at bank bjb that were earmarked for the interests of the West Java provincial government. At that time, the governor of West Java was Ridwan Kamil, who has also been questioned as a witness.

“There are certainly other needs used by bank bjb related to interests outside its proper operations. For example, there was use for the provincial government, which is also being investigated by the team,” Taufik said.

“Then there are also flows that were found and are suspected to involve nominee parties. This is currently being investigated,” he continued.

Another party suspected of being linked to this case is Lisa Mariana Presley Zulkandar, who has also been questioned as a witness.

“Among other things, we are also investigating that, because the flows used nominee parties. We cannot yet convey the details; we will wait for developments because these suspects have now been detained, and of course there is a detention period that the investigative team must expedite. That means these developments will become part of what is pursued further,” Taufik said.

The KPK has just detained four suspects in this case.

They are Widi Hartoto, Head of the Change Management Office Division at bank bjb and former Head of the Corporate Secretary Division at bank bjb from 2020 to 2024; Ikin Asikin Dulmanan, Director of PT Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri and owner of PT Antedja Muliatama; Suhendrik, Director of PT Wahana Semesta Bandung Ekspres; and Elang Sophan Jaya Kusuma, Commissioner of PT Cipta Karya Sukses Bersama.

“The four suspects have been detained for the first 20 days, from 10 August to 29 August 2026, at the KPK Merah Putih Building detention centre,” Taufik said.

The KPK was also supposed to detain one other suspect, Yuddy Renaldi, who served as President Director of PT bank bjb from 2019 to March 2025. However, he claimed to be ill and requested a rescheduled date.

Taufik said investigators will follow up on that information. If he is genuinely ill, a new schedule will be arranged. However, if the reason is fabricated, forced arrest measures will be taken.
