KPK Investigates Alleged Corruption funds Linked to Former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in Indonesia is expanding its investigation into alleged corruption within Bank BJB,focusing on claims made by Lisa Mariana regarding financial flows received during the tenure of former west Java Governor Ridwan Kamil. The investigation centers on a procurement scandal that authorities believe resulted in state losses of Rp 222 billion (approximately $14.3 million USD).
The KPK will thoroughly examine Lisa Mariana’s statements, according to a spokesperson for the agency. “of course everything will be explored and we will see other sources,” the spokesperson stated on Thursday, November 9, 2025. This includes scrutinizing the timing and methods used to transfer funds from Kamil to Mariana.
Tracing the Flow of Funds
The KPK is collaborating with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) to trace the assets involved in the case. This partnership is crucial, as authorities seek to understand the complete trajectory of the allegedly illicit funds. “Because in searching assets, of course the KPK also cooperates with PPATK in conducting a search, especially related to the streams of the money,” a senior official explained.
Lisa Mariana has admitted to receiving funds, initially unaware of their alleged connection to corruption within Bank BJB. She stated after questioning by investigators on November 9th, “Regarding the flow of funds, I did not know at that time he was still in office. Yes,yes,I thought he had money,a lot of money,but I did not know the flow from the BJB bank.” The KPK has already questioned Mariana to gather more details about the money she received from Kamil, referred to as “RK” in official statements.
Five Suspects Named in BJB Corruption Case
To date, the KPK has named five suspects in connection with the Bank BJB corruption case:
- Yuddy Renaldi, former Managing Director of Bank BJB
- Widi Hartono (WH), Head of the BJB Bank Corporate secretary Division
- Ikin Asikin Dulmanan (IAD)
- Suhendrik (S)
- Sophan Jaya Kusuma (RSJK)
Authorities suspect these individuals engaged in activities that led to the considerable loss of state funds, perhaps used for “non-budgetary needs.” The investigation is focusing on the procurement of advertising contracts within the bank, seeking to establish a direct link between the alleged corruption and the flow of funds to individuals like Lisa Mariana.
The KPK’s investigation represents a notable advancement in the ongoing effort to combat corruption within Indonesia’s financial institutions and underscores the agency’s commitment to holding those responsible accountable for their actions.
