KPK Cecar Yuddy Renaldi Soal Dana Non-Budgeter yang Diduga Mengalir ke Ridwan Kamil

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has revealed that a number of things were investigated when examining the former President Director (Dirut) of PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten Tbk (BJB), Yuddy Renaldi as a suspect in alleged corruption in the procurement of advertisements on Thursday, August 13. Among them is the issue of non-budgeter funds managed by the bank's corporate secretary division.

"YR as President Director of Bank BJB 2019-2024, was investigated for his knowledge related to the process and mechanism of procurement of goods and services, namely the placement of media related to the procurement of advertisements carried out by Bank BJB," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, quoted Friday, August 14.

"Including also about non-budgeter funds that are set aside from the procurement of advertisements, what is the allocation for," he continued.

Budi said investigators believed Yuddy knew about the non-budgeter funds. "Also the decisions made at Bank BJB," he said.

In the future, Budi said Yuddy will be re-examined to complete this case. Non-budgeter funds will also still be investigated, including their flow.

Regarding this flow, Budi said, investigators had seized goods suspected of being related to non-budgeter funds. One of them is a Royal Enfield motorcycle seized from the house of former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil as well as a Mercedes Benz 'Gullwing' 300 SL car.

The car was seized from a workshop and allegedly bought by Ridwan Kamil from the hands of Vice President B. J. Habibie's family.

"True, one of them is the seizure of an antique car purchased by RK's brother from IH's brother. Where the payment made by RK's brother to IH's brother is not 100 percent. So, of course, we seize what is then actually related to the flow of non-budgeter funds. "

Meanwhile, Yuddy Renaldi after being examined did not want to say much about Ridwan Kamil's involvement in the corruption case for advertising procurement at BJB.

This was conveyed by Yuddy when answering a reporter's question regarding other parties who were suspected of utilizing non-budgeter funds managed by the BJB Corporate Secretary after undergoing an examination as a suspect at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta today, August 13. He invited the anti-corruption commission to provide further explanation.

"No, just ask the KPK directly. I don't understand," said Yuddy as he hurried after being examined.

Meanwhile, Arif Sulaeman as Yuddy's legal team said that there was not much material that had been excavated against his client. Including, about Ridwan Kamil's involvement in the alleged corruption case for the procurement of BJB advertisements.

Arif said his client's examination was only carried out at the initial stage. However, the process was completed because of Yuddy's health condition.

"Until now there has been no examination there," he said.

"Because I saw his health condition. So it was stopped because he couldn't convey the things that needed to be conveyed earlier," continued Arif.

As previously reported, the KPK has detained four suspects of alleged corruption in the procurement of advertisements at PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten Tbk or Bank BJB (BJBR). They are Widi Hartoto as the Head of the Change Management Office Division of Bank BJB as well as the former Head of the Corporate Secretary Division of Bank BJB 2020-2024; Ikin Asikin Dulmanan as the Director of PT Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri & Owner of PT Antedja Muliatama (AM); Suhendrik as the Director of PT Wahana Semesta Bandung Express; and Elang Sophan Jaya Kusuma as Commissioner of PT Cipta Karya Sukses Bersama.

Meanwhile, Yuddy Renaldi as President Director of PT Bank BJB from 2019 to March 2025 has not been detained. He admitted that he was sick so he asked for a rescheduling.

In this case, the KPK said the suspects were suspected of causing losses to state finances of IDR 223.6 billion due to the difference in advertising payments to six advertising agencies. They also committed the first violation in relation to the provisional estimated price (HPS) which was determined to be not the value of the advertising procurement project but the percentage of the agency fee.

BJB's Corsec Division is also said to have made a Memo Request for Procurement of Agency Services to the General Division containing recommendations for three candidate providers by directing them to one of the service providers.

Then, the BJB Corsec Division made technical evaluation requirements after the submission of bids to win a certain provider. In fact, this is not allowed because the procurement requirements of agency services must be informed before the submission of bids.

Furthermore, the BJB Corsec Division also ordered the Procurement Committee not to verify the supplier's documents. This order is said to violate the rules.

As a result of their actions, the suspects were suspected of violating the provisions of Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes Jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
