The Bekasi Metro Police have uncovered a case of alleged corruption in the National Paralympic Committee of Indonesia (NPCI) grant fund, an official organization that oversees and fosters athletes with disabilities at the national and international levels of Indonesia, Bekasi Regency for the 2024 fiscal year.

The information received was written that the total budget of Rp12 billion sourced from the APBD and the 2024 Revised APBD was found to be misappropriated for various personal interests of two NPCI administrators, namely KD and NY.

Bekasi Metro Police Chief Kombes Mustofa said that the disclosure of this case was a follow-up to the police report and Investigation Order issued on August 13, 2025. Until now, investigators have examined 61 witnesses, including two criminal expert witnesses and auditors.

"The grant funds should be used to support the development of disabled athletes and NPCI activities throughout 2024. However, the facts of the investigation show that most of the funds are used for personal gain by the suspects," he said in a statement, Thursday, November 27, 2025.

Mustofa explained, the results of the Bekasi District Inspectorate audit showed that there was a state loss of Rp. 7,117,660,158.

The police revealed that the suspect KD used around Rp. 2 billion for the benefit of his nomination campaign as a member of the Bekasi Regency DPRD in the 2024 General Election.

"Some funds were disbursed through checks and cash withdrawals by the suspect, then used for political activities that had nothing to do with the interests of organizations or athletes," he said.

Meanwhile, the suspect NY received a flow of Rp1.79 billion in funds, and some were used to purchase two units of Toyota Innova Zenix through a down payment and installment scheme. This purchase, said Mustofa, was carried out using the identity of NY's nephew and sister-in-law.

The method is that the suspect NY uses the identity of family members so that transactions are not directly in his name. However, investigators can trace the flow of money through account transfers and vehicle credit documents," explained Mustofa.

Mustofa said, to cover up the irregularities, the two suspects were suspected of making fictitious accountability reports (LPJ). According to him, the LPJ lists various activities such as selection of athletes, official trips, shopping for sports equipment, and spending on secretariat capital that have never been carried out.

"We found a number of activity documents that were claimed to have been carried out, but after examining witnesses and comparing documents, these activities never existed. This later became one of the strong indicators of corrupt acts," said Mustofa.

In addition, investigators also confiscated various evidences in the form of a Regent's Decree regarding the disbursement of grants, SP2D documents of nine billion and three billion rupiah from the account mutation of BJB, Mandiri, BNI, BCA, to vehicle credit documents in leasing. Rp400 million in cash was also secured from one of the related parties.

Mustofa emphasized that the investigation did not stop at these two suspects. Investigators are currently still investigating a number of funds allegedly leading to other parties.

"We do not rule out the possibility that other actors will participate in enjoying the flow of grant funds. Investigators continue to trace suspicious transactions in accounts of various parties to ensure criminal and administrative accountability," he said.

For their actions, the suspects were charged with Article 2 paragraph (1), Article 3, Article 8, and Article 9 of the Corruption Act. The penalty is from 1 year to 20 years in prison, plus fines and the obligation to return state losses.
