KPK Will Call Celebrity Lisa Mariana Again In The BJB Bank Advertising Corruption Case

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plans to recall the celebrity Lisa Mariana for questioning regarding allegations of corruption in the procurement of advertisements at PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten Tbk or Bank BJB (BJBR).

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said Lisa's summons would be made again because she was not fit when asked for information on Friday, August 22. He was examined as a witness at that time.

"In yesterday's examination, LM's sister was in an unsuitable health condition, so it is planned that a recall will be made to LM's sister," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, August 25.

Budi has not specified when Lisa will be called again. "This is still being coordinated, later we will update regarding the plan to examine sister LM," he said.

Lisa's statement is urgently needed to trace the flow of non-budget funds managed by Bank BJB's Corporate Secretary (Corsec) division.

This non-budgeter fund is money obtained from the difference in paying for the procurement of advertisements by Bank BJB. The agency's company is suspected of returning the money through the corsec division.

Previously reported, the KPK confiscated evidence related to the corruption case in the placement of advertisements for PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten Tbk or Bank BJB (BJBR) for the period 2021-2023. Among them are deposits worth IDR 70 billion to vehicles.

"We also confiscated a sum of money, but in the form of a deposito of approximately Rp. 70 billion, then there were several two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles," said Acting Director of KPK Investigation Budi Sokmo, to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, March 13, 2025.

One of the confiscated was the Royal Enfield motorbike which was found at the house of former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil. Then, investigators also confiscated a blue Mercedes-Benz 280 SL.

In this case, five suspects have been named. They are former President Director of Bank BJB Yuddy Renaldi; Head of Bank BJB Corporate Secretary Division Widi Hartoto; Agency Controller Antedja Muliatama and Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri Kin Asikin Dulmanan; Agency Controller BSC Advertising 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.

This case investigation warrant (sprindik) was issued on February 27, 2025. The actions of the five suspects are suspected of having caused the state to lose up to Rp22 billion.

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 according to the needs of the investigation.
