JAKARTA - Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Asep Guntur said investigators continue to trace the ownership of the Royal Enfield luxury motorbike at Ridwan Kamil's house which was confiscated in connection with allegations of corruption in the procurement of advertisements for PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten Tbk or Bank BJB (BJBR) for the period 2021-2023.
Asep straightened himself out that he had never stated that the former Governor of West Java disguised the ownership of a big motorbike and a Mercedes S 280 L. He only explained that the confiscated vehicle was in the name of Ridwan Kamil's aide.
"I explained that the items confiscated, especially the motorbike, from its ownership, proof of ownership, in this case from the STNK, the letters BPKB were not on his behalf," Asep told reporters quoted on Monday, July 27.
"It's on behalf of other people, in this case the aide," he continued.
Asep, who is also the Director of Investigation of the KPK, stated that the search was clear about the ownership of the vehicle. Because, when confiscated, the Royal Enfield motorbike was at Ridwan Kamil's house but on behalf of someone else.
"So Mr. RK is not disguising the ownership of his motorbike, is not it. We are looking after it because it is at his house, he is concerned," he said.
Asep previously said Ridwan Kamil had not been summoned because investigators were still investigating the origins of the Royal Enfield and Mercedes Benz 280 SL which were confiscated.
At that time, he responded to questions about whether or not there were non-budget funds in the Bank BJB corruption case that flowed to the former Mayor of Bandung and was used to buy the vehicle.
The non-budget funds were collected from the budget for ad procurement paid to a number of agencies. Its use is to pay for unplanned expenses, such as birthday events and others.
So far the car and several motorbikes are in the name of other people. Well, that's to my knowledge, yes, in the name of someone else. So we are currently investigating," said Asep to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, July 24.
"If I'm not mistaken, the aide or employee is like that, yes, the employee. Some of them are in the name there, so we are currently investigating. (If, ed) are asked, why has Mr. RK not been examined, yes, we are investigating it," he said again at that time.
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.
