The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that a number of items had been confiscated by investigators after searching the house of former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil or Kang Emil on Monday, March 10. This forced effort is related to the alleged corruption of PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten, Tbk (BJBR).

"Surely, if there are some confiscated, yes, some documents, some items," said KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto to reporters at the ACLC KPK building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 12.

Setyo did not elaborate further on the document. The former Director of Investigation of the KPK only said that currently investigators were investigating the findings obtained from the search.

"It is being studied, being researched by investigators. Yes, it is not much but at least it is relevant to the handling of cases that are currently being handled," he said.

The KPK has previously issued an investigation warrant (sprindik) to investigate allegations of corruption within Bank BJB. Five people have been named as suspects because they are suspected of causing state losses.

"The article suspected of Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 is related to the procurement of goods or services at Bank BJB," said a VOI source who was delivered on Wednesday, March 5 evening.

The amount of state losses incurred by the five suspects reached hundreds of billions of rupiah. However, the exact figure cannot be conveyed. The same source also said that the KPK had asked the Directorate General of Immigration to prevent the five suspects from leaving the country for six months. Two of them are internal Bank BJB while the rest are private.

This effort is being made to facilitate the investigation process. The prohibition of traveling abroad can usually be extended as needed.
