JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has completed examining three judges as witnesses to investigate alleged bribes for the execution of disputed land at the Depok District Court (PN) involving PT Karabha Digdaya on Tuesday, May 26. Those who were examined were Ultry Meiliyeni, Erlinawati, and Evri Dayanti.

Meanwhile, PT Karabha Digdaya is a company that is in the ecosystem of the Ministry of Finance.

"Witness ULT was asked about the review process regarding the execution application of PT Karabha Digdaya," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his written statement quoted on Wednesday, May 27.

Meanwhile, witnesses Erlinawati and Evri Dayanti were questioned at the Bogor PN. Erlina was said to have been questioned by investigators about the land execution process, which was initially in a dispute status.

Meanwhile, regarding Evri, investigators are investigating the suspect's assets. However, Budi did not detail the results of the search.

Actually, investigators will examine another judge, namely Dwi Elyarahma. But, Budi ensured that the rescheduling would be carried out.

"Because there are other agendas," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK announced five suspects of receiving bribes and gratuities related to land dispute management at the Depok District Court (PN) after carrying out a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on Thursday evening, February 6. They are the Chairman of the Depok District Court (PN) I Wayan Eka Mariarta; Deputy Chairman of the Depok District Court (PN) Bambang Setyawan; Jurusita PN Depok Yohansyah Maruanaya; President Director of PT Karabha Digdaya, Trisnandi Yulrisman; and Head of Corporate Legal PT Karabha Digdaya, Berliana Tri Kusuma.

This case is said to have started 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.

PT Karaba Digdaya then allegedly gave Rp850 million sourced from the disbursement of checks with the underlying payment of a fictitious invoice from PT SKBB Consulting Solusindo (consultant to PT KD). The donation was allegedly to be handed over to I Wayan Eka and Bambang Setiawan through Yohansyah as a jurusita.

As a result of their actions, the suspects are suspected of violating Article 605 letter a and/or Article 606 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code in conjunction with Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes.

In addition, Bambang is also suspected of violating Article 12 B of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes. Because, he is suspected of receiving a gratification of IDR 2.5 billion which originated from a deposit on a foreign exchange exchange on behalf of PT Daha Mulia Valasindo (DMV).
