The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned Suhendrik regarding allegations of corruption in the procurement of advertisements for PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten, Tbk (BJB) or BJBR. Controlling PT Wahana Semesta Bandung Ekspres and PT BSC Advertising are one of the suspects in this case.

"The investigation was carried out at the KPK's Red and White building," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters in a written statement, Friday, July 25.

It has not been detailed that Budi's material will be extracted by investigators from Suhendrik. However, his statement as a witness is needed to shed light on the case of riots at the regional bank.

"The KPK has scheduled an examination of witnesses suspected of corruption related to the procurement of advertisements at the West Java and Banten Regional Development Banks (BJB)," he said.

The KPK has examined other suspects in this case in the capacity as witnesses. They are Ikin Asikin Dulmanan who is the controller of PT Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri and PT Antedja Muliatama and former President Director of Bank BJB Yuddy Renaldi.

Investigators are said to be investigating the flow of money from the agency to the BJB Corporate Secretary Division (Corsec). The suspicion is that there are privileges from the company that won the advertising procurement project.

Previously reported, the KPK has named five corruption suspects 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; Head of Bank BJB Corporate Secretary Division Widi Hartoto; Agency Controller Antedja Muliatama and Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri Kin Asikin Dulmanan; Agency Controller BSC Advertising and PT Wahana Semesta Bandung Ekspres (WSBE) Suhendrik; and Controller 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.
