JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) announced Risna Sutriyanto as a suspect in the alleged bribery related to the construction and maintenance of railway lines at the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) for the 2022-2024 Fiscal Year.

The State Civil Apparatus (ASN) of the Ministry of Transportation was detained on Monday, August 11 yesterday. Risna is the 14th suspect in the case which began with a hand arrest operation (OTT) in April 2023.

"Contain detention to the suspect RS for the first 20 days, starting from August 11 to 30, 2025. Detention is carried out at the Red and White Detention Center of the KPK building," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu at a press conference at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, August 2.

Asep explained that Risna became the Head of the Working Group (Pokja) for the Selection of Goods/Services for the KA Double Line Development Work Package between Solo Balapan-Kadipiro KM96+400 to KM104+900 (JGSS.6) FY 2022-2024 and other packages within the Class 1 Semarang BTP. The appointment was at the request of Bernard Hasibuan as the PPK project who was also entangled in this case.

After the appointment, Bernard told Risna that he had prepared PT Wirajasa Persada (WJP-KSO) as a candidate to win the tender and/or a candidate to carry out work with several other service providers/companies as a companion company, including PT Istana Putra Agung (IPA) owned by Dion Renato Sugiarto.

Bernard then asked Risna to accommodate her request. As a follow-up, Risna then conveyed to all Pokja personnel she leads. He also added certain conditions as a candidate for service provider in question as a 'tradition lock'.

The requirements are in the form of a letter of support from a manufacturer that has a certificate from the International Association / Government / Institution representing a manufacturer-based country that produced diesel can be used for Main Line (Jalur Raya); and production certification according to the standards of the Indonesian Independent Accreditation Agency that is still valid.

It didn't stop there, PT WJP-KSO, which was prepared as the winner, was declared a failure when evaluated. The reason, continued Asep, was due to an error in uploading the bidding document.

Then, after changing the scenario, PT IPA finally won the tender for the construction of the KA Double Line between Solo Balapan-Kadipiro KM96+400 to KM104+900 (JGSS.6) TA 2022-2024. The contract reached Rp164.51 billion.

"In the process, PT IPA was chosen as the winner of the tender and then bears the commitment fee that had previously been agreed upon by PT WJP-KSO," explained Asep, who also serves as Director of KPK Investigations.

"PT IPA is then suspected of giving Rp600 million to the RS brother as part of the commitment fee of the project contract value," he continued.

As a result of his actions, Risna was then suspected of violating Article 12 letter a or letter b or Article 11 of the Corruption Eradication Law (UU Tipikor) in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code (KUHP).
