JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned celebrity Lisa Mariana today, August 22. He is expected to fulfill the summons of investigators regarding allegations of corruption at PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten Tbk or Bank BJB (BJBR).

"We believe that sister LM will attend and assist the KPK to provide the information needed by investigators," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters, Wednesday, August 22.

Budi said Lisa's statement was considered to help the anti-corruption commission. "So that we can effectively investigate this case," he said.

Meanwhile, on a separate occasion, Budi said Lisa would be examined to investigate the flow of non-budget funds that the suspects had raised in this case.

The KPK once said that this non-budgeter fund was money obtained from the difference in paying for advertising procurement by Bank BJB. The agency's company is suspected of returning the money through the corporate secretary (corsec) division.

"Then the KPK also continues to explore the alleged flow managed in non-budget funds at the BJB Corsec, this is for anything, for anyone. What does that mean, meaning that the KPK is following the money," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday night, August 20.

Budi also stated that the KPK did not call people carelessly. We will investigate the construction of this case in its entirety. So that we not only determine the responsible parties, determine the parties as suspects but also the KPK is concerned about how to then restore this country's finances optimally or its asset recovery," he said.

Meanwhile, Lisa Mariana was linked to the figure of the former Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, who was also involved in this case. This celebrity admitted that she had children with the politician, even though the results of DNA tests conducted by the National Police actually stated otherwise.

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.

One of the confiscated was the Royal Enfield motorbike which was found at the house of former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil. Then, investigators also confiscated a blue Mercedes-Benz 280 SL.

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.
