KPK Endus Parties Allegedly Participate In Enjoying Bank BJB Advertising Corruption Money

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has pocketed parties suspected of enjoying money for corruption in the procurement of advertisements at PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten, Tbk or Bank BJB (BJBR). The investigation will be carried out by investigators based on the evidence they have.

"That's all us, not all of them, yes, but we can map out who are enjoying this non-budgeting fund," said Acting Director of KPK Investigation Budi Sokmo to reporters quoted from the Indonesian KPK YouTube, Friday, March 14.

This non-budget money, continued Budi, will later be clarified. "We are still investigating this," said the head of the task force (kasatgas) who handled the corruption case in the procurement of advertisements at Bank BJB.

"Because we have not clarified, we just got the notes and later we will clarify to the parties who deliver," continued Budi.

As for the issue of the budgeter funds, it was revealed in a press conference on the determination of five suspects, one of which was former Director of Bank BJB Yuddy Renaldi. Budi initially explained that it was suspected that there was fraud in the process of placing advertisements for regional banks, one of which was payment with an inappropriate nominal.

Budi said, the placement of advertisements into the media was carried out by Bank BJB through six agencies with a budget of Rp409 billion. However, the amount then paid was only more than Rp100 billion.

This process then caused a difference of money reaching Rp222 billion and could still increase because it was being calculated by the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

Previously reported, the KPK named five suspects for alleged corruption in the placement of advertisements for PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten, Tbk or Bank BJB (BJBR) for the period 2021-2023. They are former President Director of Bank BJB Yuddy Renaldi and Head of Bank BJB Corporate Secretary Division Widi Hartoto.

Then he was also named a suspect from the private sector, namely the Controlling Agency of Antedja Muliatama and Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri Kin Asikin Dulmanan; Controlling the BSC Administration Agency and PT Wahana Semesta Bandung Express (WSBE) Suhendrik; and Controlling PT Cipta Karya Sukses Bersama (CKSB) and PT Cipta Karya Mandiri Bersama (CKMB) Raden Sophan Jaya Kusuma. The investigation warrant (sprindik) was issued on February 27, 2025.

Currently, the detention has not been carried out on five suspects. However, they have been prevented from traveling abroad for six months and can be extended as needed.
