JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) emphasized that borrowing or entrusting a big motorbike with the Royal Enfield brand that was confiscated from the house of former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil or Kang Emil did not mean giving special treatment.

KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika said that this kind of confiscated or care deposit was once carried out by investigators when they confiscated a car related to the money laundering crime (TPPU) that ensnared the former Kutai Kartanegara Regent Rita Widyasari.

At that time, it was known that investigators had confiscated dozens of luxury cars from the house of the Chairman of Pemuda Pancasila (PP) Japto Soerjosoemarno in the South Jakarta area. The vehicle was borrowed before being taken to the KPK Confiscated Object Storage House (Rupbasan).

"In the case of alleged money laundering offenses with the suspect RW, the former Kutai Kartanegara Regent, investigators also entrusted the confiscation care to the owner of the confiscated goods before investigators moved their storage," Tessa told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, April 17.

Tessa also said that the care deposit or borrow-use had news of the event. So, the process is not carried out carelessly.

"In the minutes of this deposit, it was stated that the recipient was entrusted with confiscation or was entrusted with having the obligation to maintain the evidence that was deposited," he explained.

"If at any time for the purposes of investigation, prosecution or the judiciary needs this evidence, it must be submitted immediately," continued the spokesman with the investigator's background.

In addition, Ridwan Kamil is also prohibited from selling or moving the vehicle. He is required to take care of Royal Enfield which has not been shifted to the KPK Rupbasan to maintain its value.

"And if there is a fee incurred, it is charged to be entrusted," said Tessa.

Previously reported, the KPK confiscated a large motorbike (moge) with the Royal Enfield brand when searching the house of former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil. This forced effort is related to the corruption case in the placement of advertisements for PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten, Tbk or Bank BJB (BJBR) for the period 2021-2023.

As for this case, the KPK has named five suspects. They are former President Director of Bank BJB Yuddy Renaldi; Bank BJB Corporate Secretary Division Head Widi Hartoto; Agency Controller Antedja Muliatama and Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri Kin Asikin Dulmanan; Agency Controller of BSC Advertising and PT Wahana Semesta Bandung Express (WSBE) Suhendrik; and Controlling of PT Cipta Karya Sukses Bersama (CKSB) and PT Cipta Karya Mandiri Bersama (CKMB) Raden Sopha Jaya Kusuma. The investigation warrant (sprindik) was issued on February 27, 2025.

In this case, the KPK suspects that there was an unlawful act in the process of placing advertisements in a number of media. As a result, the state lost up to IDR 222 billion.

Currently, the detention has not been carried out on five suspects. However, they have been prevented from traveling abroad for six months and can be extended as needed.
