JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Fitroh Rochicahyanto claimed that the Royal Enfield motorbike confiscated from former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil or Kang Emil had not been taken to the KPK Confiscated Property Storage House (Rupbasan) because of technical matters. He denied reports of budget constraints.

The big motorbike was confiscated in connection with allegations of 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.

"No. There are no budget constraints," Fitroh told reporters at the ACLC KPK building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Monday, April 21.

Fitroh admitted that efficiency only limits the affairs of limiting official travel outside the city. "The problem of ( bringing this vehicle, red) budget constraints, no, really, no (there is, red)," he said.

Furthermore, Fitroh said that the confiscated Royal Enfield would definitely be brought to the KPK Rupbasan after the technical problems were resolved. "Later, yes, it will definitely be done the same as other evidence," said the former Director of KPK Prosecution.

The KPK is reportedly constrained by the cost of carrying the Royal Enfield motorbike which was confiscated since March from Ridwan Kamil's house due to efficiency.

This is in accordance with Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 1 of 2025 concerning Expenditure Efficiency in the Implementation of the State Budget and Regional Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. The budget ceiling, which was previously IDR 1.237 trillion, was IDR 1.036 trillion or a decrease of IDR 201 billion.

"Investigators cannot move the two-wheeled vehicle to Jakarta because the KPK has no budget," said a VOI source via text message, Saturday afternoon, April 19, 2025.

This source said that the confiscated vehicle was usually carried out using a truck or towing. The process cannot be done carelessly to keep the value of the goods from going down.

Previously reported, the KPK confiscated evidence 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. Among them are deposits worth IDR 70 billion to vehicles.

"We also confiscated a sum of money, but in the form of deposits of approximately Rp. 70 billion, there were several two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles," said Acting Director of KPK Investigation, Budi Sokmo, to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, March 13, 2025.

In this case, five suspects have been named. They are former President Director of Bank BJB Yuddy Renaldi; Head of Corporate Secretary Division of Bank BJB Widi Hartoto; Agency Controller Antedja Muliatama and Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri Kin Asikin Dulmanan; Agency Controller of BSC Advertising and PT Wahana Semesta Bandung Ekspres (WSBE) Suhendrik; and Controlling of PT Cipta Karya Sukses Bersama (CKSB) and PT Cipta Karya Mandiri Bersama (CKMB) Raden Sophan Jaya Kusuma.

This case investigation warrant (sprindik) was issued on February 27, 2025. The actions of the five suspects are suspected of having caused the state to lose up to Rp22 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 according to the needs of the investigation.
