26 Transfers, Rp 3 Billion Drag the Name of the Deputy Governor of West Java

KARAWANG - The handling of the case of alleged fraud and embezzlement of funds worth Rp3 billion handled by the West Java Police has entered a new phase. In the midst of the ongoing investigation process, the reporting party admitted that he had handed over a number of evidence to investigators, including evidence of transfers and electronic conversations that they believed showed the flow of funds in the case.

The case, which was reported since December 22, 2025, also dragged the name of the Deputy Governor of West Java, Erwan Setiawan, along with his son, Daffa Al Ghifari. In addition to the two, the police report also lists Sherly Ingga Setiawati and Indra Kardiansah as the parties reported.

The report was filed by Andri Somantri (30), Director of PT ADS from Karawang. His lawyer, Alek Safri Winando, said the case began in March 2025 when his client was introduced by Sherly Ingga Setiawati to Erwan Setiawan and his family in an activity at the official residence of the Deputy Governor of West Java.

"Our client was invited to attend a series of events for the inauguration of the Deputy Governor of West Java, then introduced to Mr. Erwan Setiawan and his son at the official residence," said Alek.

According to Alek, after the meeting, his client was asked several times to provide a bailout fund that was said to be used for various needs in the environment of the West Java Deputy Governor's official residence.

The reporting party claims to have evidence in the form of electronic conversations, transaction documents, and transfer records that have been submitted to investigators.

"We have evidence that the money transferred by our client was received and enjoyed by 'Mr' and his family," said Alek.

Based on the data possessed by the reporter, there were 26 transactions with a total value of Rp3,036,500,000. The funds were said to have been transferred to accounts in the name of Sherly Ingga Setiawati and Daffa Al Ghifari with the agreement to be returned.

However, until the report was made, Andri admitted that he had not received the refund.

"Until now, our client has not received a refund of Rp3 billion that has been disbursed," said Alek.
