Two suspects in the corruption case involving grant funds for the National Paralympic Committee Indonesia (NPCI) of Bekasi Regency for the 2024 fiscal year are set to stand trial. The pair, K (49) and NY (52), have been transferred by police to the prosecution service.

According to the Bekasi Metropolitan Police’s Instagram account, the phase II transfer of the suspects was carried out on Wednesday, 18 February 2026, after the case file was declared complete (P-21). Both suspects were handed over to prosecutors along with 36 items of evidence, including grant disbursement documents, accountability reports, banking transaction records, and Rp 400 million in cash.

“The investigation into the police report filed in August 2025 uncovered alleged state losses amounting to Rp 7,117,660,158,” the Bekasi Metropolitan Police’s Instagram account stated on Thursday, 19 February 2026.

Head of Criminal Investigation at Bekasi Metropolitan Police, Inspector Jerico Lavian Chandra, reaffirmed the police’s commitment to firmly prosecuting corruption offences and ensuring a transparent and accountable legal process.

Corruption Proceeds Used for Legislative Campaign

Police revealed the actions of the two suspects, KD and NY, in the alleged corruption of Rp 7.1 billion in grant funds for disabled athletes in Bekasi Regency. Both used the proceeds of corruption for personal purposes.

The then Bekasi Metropolitan Police Chief, Senior Commissioner Mustofa, stated that suspect KD used the funds for a legislative campaign in 2024, to the tune of Rp 2 billion.

“Suspect KD used Rp 2 billion in grant money for campaign expenses in the election for members of the Bekasi Regency Regional Legislative Council in 2024,” Mustofa said on Thursday, 27 November 2025.

Meanwhile, suspect NY allegedly received Rp 1.79 billion in corruption proceeds. The money was allegedly used to purchase vehicles.

“It was then used by suspect NY for a down payment and instalments on two Toyota Innova Zenix units, registered under the identities of suspect NY’s nephew and brother-in-law, totalling Rp 319,420,000, with the remainder yet to be accounted for,” he explained.
