KPK has data on PPATK, Deputy Chairman of PN Depok is suspected of receiving gratification of Rp. 2.5 billion

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the Deputy Chairman of the Depok District Court (PN) Bambang Setyawan also received a gratification of Rp. 2.5 billion. This finding was obtained from data submitted by the Financial Transaction Reporting and Analysis Center (PPATK) after a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) was carried out on Thursday, February 5 evening.

"The KPK team obtained data from PPATK, that BBG was also suspected of receiving other receipts or gratuities sourced from deposits on foreign exchange exchange worth Rp. 2.5 billion from PT DMV," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu in a press conference at the KPK Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, February 6 evening.

From a number of searches, PT DMV is Daha Mulia Valasindo which is a money exchange or money changer company. "(Deposits are carried out, ed) during the period 2025-2026," said Asep.

As for the bribery case, Bambang has been named a suspect along with four others. They are the Chairman of Depok I Wayan Eka Mariarta, PN Depok Jurusita Yohansyah Maruanaya; President Director of PT Karabha Digdaya, Trisnandi Yulrisman; and Head of Corporate Legal PT Karabha Digdaya, Berliana Tri Kusuma.

Asep further explained that this case began in 2023, when the Depok PN granted a lawsuit by PT Karabha Digdaya, which is a business entity in the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) related to a land dispute of 6,500 meters in Tapos District, Depok, West Java.

"The decision has also been appealed and cassation with a decision to strengthen the first decision in the Depok District Court," said Asep, who also serves as the Director of KPK Investigation.

After this ruling, Asep explained, PT KD applied to the Depok District Court to carry out the execution of land clearance. However, the execution was not carried out until February 2025.

"Because the land will soon be used by PT KD. On the other hand, the community also filed a review of the decision in February 2025," he explained.

Seeing this condition, I Wayan Eka and Bambang Setiawan then asked Yohansyah as a jurusita to act as a liaison. All PT KD affairs are handled through him.

Yohansyah then made a secret deal regarding the request for a fee of Rp1 billion from I Wayan Eka and Bambang with PT KD which was conveyed to Berliana for the acceleration of handling the execution.

This request, according to Asep, was discussed at a restaurant in the Depok area, West Java. "YOH and BER met at a restaurant in Depok to discuss the time for the implementation of the execution of land clearance and the request for fees to accelerate the execution," he said.

"From the results of the meeting, BER conveyed to TRI as the President Director of PT KD the request for the fee in question," he said.

This request was then not granted by PT KD. They asked for the amount to be Rp. 850 million which was followed up by the preparation of a resume by Bambang and executed by Yohansyah.

After this execution, Yohansyah then received Rp. 20 million from Berliana. Furthermore, the agreed amount of Rp. 850 million was given at the golf course in the Depok area.

"In February 2026, BER met YOH again at a golf course and handed over money worth IDR 850 million sourced from the disbursement of a check with a fictitious invoice payment underlying PT SKBB Consulting Solusindo (consultant PT KD) to the Bank," said Asep.
