The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil will be summoned regarding the alleged corruption in the placement of advertisements for PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten, Tbk or Bank BJB (BJBR) for the period 2021-2023. The information is needed to confirm the findings obtained by investigators.

This was conveyed by the Director of Investigation of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu when asked about the follow-up that investigators would take after searching Ridwan Kamil's house on Monday, March 10.

"From the search, we confiscated several documents and also electronic bars. For that purpose, we have to confirm the documents concerned regarding the existing documents," Asep told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, quoted on Monday, March 17.

Even so, Asep has not specified when the summons of the chairman of the Golkar Party DPP will be carried out. This is because investigators are still analyzing the items found during the search.
