Ridwan Kamil Allegedly Samarized The Ownership Of Mercedes Benz And Royal Enfield Using Employee Names
JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil used his employee's name to disguise the ownership of cars and motorbikes that were confiscated some time ago.
This was conveyed by the acting (Plt) Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu when he was asked about the confiscation of Mercedes Benz 280 SL and Royal Enfield from Ridwan Kamil's house some time ago.
This forced effort is related to allegations of corruption in the procurement of advertisements for PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten Tbk or Bank BJB (BJBR) for the period 2021-2023.
"The car and several motorbikes are in the name of other people," Asep told reporters quoted on Friday, July 25.
"Well, that's to my knowledge, yes, in the name of someone else. So we are currently investigating. If I'm not mistaken, it's the aide or employee," continued Asep.
This deepening then made Ridwan Kamil never called in this case. Because, Asep said, investigators wanted to collect information from other parties.
"That's why (if, red) they are asked, why has not Mr. RK been examined, yes, we are investigating it," said Asep.
