JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has the opportunity to develop allegations of corruption at PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten Tbk or Bank BJB (BJBR). They are waiting for the results of an audit that is being carried out by the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu).
It is known that the current anti-corruption commission is investigating allegations of corruption in the placement of advertisements in the regional bank for the period 2021-2023. A total of five suspects have been named.
"Friends from yesterday's taxation have coordinated with us to conduct an audit. From the results of the audit, of course we will know where the leaks in BJB have occurred so far," said Acting Director of KPK Investigation Budi Sokmo quoted on Tuesday, June 10.
Budi said this process took one month. "(The audit, red) since last week," he said without elaborating.
Furthermore, Budi said that the coordination was not new. "DGT colleagues have indeed investigated this case. They then coordinated with us," he said.
"So we synergize with the DGT for this, so that later we will get more comprehensive results on the losses incurred both in terms of advertising, as well as corporately directly in the BJB," continued the head of the task force (kasatgas) for the KPK investigation.
Previously reported, the KPK named five suspects for 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. They are former President Director of Bank BJB Yuddy Renaldi and Head of Bank BJB Corporate Secretary Division Widi Hartoto.
Then he was also named a suspect from the private sector, namely the Controlling Agency of Antedja Muliatama and Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri Kin Asikin Dulmanan; Controlling the BSC Administration Agency and PT Wahana Semesta Bandung Express (WSBE) Suhendrik; and Controlling PT Cipta Karya Sukses Bersama (CKSB) and PT Cipta Karya Mandiri Bersama (CKMB) Raden Sophan Jaya Kusuma. The investigation warrant (sprindik) was issued on February 27, 2025.
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.
