Metro Jaya Police Probe KPK Report Over Alleged Document Forgery Involving Linda Susanti
The police have confirmed that they have received an official report from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) against Linda Susanti (LS), a witness in a case of alleged bribery and money laundering involving the former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA), Hasbi Hasan. Metro Jaya Police Public Relations Head, Senior Commissioner Budi Hermanto, confirmed that the report had been registered since last month. “Yes, that is correct, in February 2026, related to document forgery,” he told Antara on Tuesday (3 March). He added that the police will follow up the report by questioning the complainant and witnesses, and by conducting a thorough analysis of the evidence. However, the exact schedule for the examinations has yet to be set.
This legal step was taken by the KPK in response to findings of indications of document manipulation in the management of assets related to the Hasbi Hasan case. KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo emphasised that the primary focus of the report is the alleged forgery committed by LS. “KPK has reported to the Metro Jaya Police over the alleged document forgery by LS in connection with asset misappropriation,” he said at the Gedung Merah Putih of the KPK, Jakarta.
Budi Prasetyo also noted that the ethics violation report previously filed by Linda Susanti against KPK staff to the Supervisory Board (Dewas) had been declared null. “The Supervisory Board has conducted investigations and issued a decision that the KPK personnel reported by Ms LS were not found to have violated ethics,” he stated.
The legal dispute began when Linda Susanti’s lawyer, Deolipa Yumara, urged the KPK in October 2025 to return seized assets that he claimed were not connected to the Hasbi Hasan case. Deolipa said that the assets seized by the KPK but not related to the Hasbi Hasan case included: cash amounts of SGD 45 million in sealed form, SGD 200,000 in unsealed form, USD 300,000, EUR 120,000, MYR 50,000, and 12 bars of gold each weighing 1 kilogram. Subsequently, title deeds for land and buildings spread across several Indonesian regions, from East Nusa Tenggara, to Minahasa, to Ogan Ilir.
KPK has formally reported Linda Susanti to the Metro Jaya Police over alleged asset-document forgery.
