JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the process of determining property tax rates at the North Jakarta Tax Service Office (KPP) and the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the Ministry of Finance.
This matter was investigated by the KPK during the examination of three witnesses, namely Eli Susanti, a private sector employee; Reiza Rizki, a civil servant/staff of the Secretariat of the North Jakarta Tax Service Office; and Teguh Prasetya Nugraha, Head of Section at the Directorate of Business Process Transformation of the DJP Ministry of Finance.
The three were examined at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building on Wednesday (25/2/2026).
“This includes how the process and mechanism of the examination or determination of the rate or value of property tax is carried out at the North Jakarta Tax Service Office. How does the process work at the KPP level, then at the Regional Office level, and also at the central office?” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in a statement on Thursday (26/2/2026).
“All of this will continue to be investigated,” he said.
In addition, Budi said that investigators are also examining the suspects in parallel so that the investigation phase can be completed and transferred to the prosecution stage.
“Of course, investigators are also investigating in parallel the evidence obtained from the sting operation, both in the form of money, in the form of electronic evidence, and documents,” he said.
The KPK has named five suspects in connection with the alleged bribery case related to the procurement of tax audits at the North Jakarta Tax Service Office for the period 2021-2026 on Sunday (11/1/2026).
These include Tax Consultant Abdul Kadim Sahbudin; and Staff of PT Wanatiara Persada, Edy Yulianto, as the givers of the bribe.
The five were arrested by the KPK in a sting operation in North Jakarta on Friday (9/1/2026) and Saturday (10/1/2026).
“Based on sufficient evidence, in this case, there are at least two pieces of evidence, we have named the five people as suspects,” said Acting Deputy for Investigation and Execution of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, at the Merah Putih Building, Jakarta, on Sunday (11/1/2026).
The KPK then detained the suspects for the first 20 days, from January 11 to January 30, 2026, at the KPK Detention Center Branch of the Merah Putih Building.
In this case, the Head of the Supervision and Consultation Section of the North Jakarta Tax Service Office, Agus Syarifudin, asked PT Wanatiara Persada to make a “all-in” tax payment of IDR 23 billion.
