KPK Deposits Ridwan Kamil's Seized Car at Workshop

KatadataOTO – The Commission for the Eradication of Corruption (KPK) has entrusted Ridwan Kamil's car to a workshop in West Java. The Mercedes-Benz vehicle is considered to be related to a suspected corruption case at Bank BJB.

However, the car cannot yet be stored directly by the anti-graft agency because it requires maintenance.
"What is certain is that the workshop is in West Java," said Tessa Mahardhika Sugiarto, KPK Spokesperson, as reported by Antara (04/05).

Although it has been entrusted, the workshop owner is obligated to take the best possible care of the vehicle. Tessa also ensured that the KPK, through its evidence managers, will periodically check the car's condition.

"Of course, if the vehicle is deemed roadworthy and can be moved to the Rupbasan (State Confiscated Objects Storage House), it will be done immediately," he explained.

It was previously reported that the KPK had searched Ridwan Kamil's house in connection with the investigation into a suspected corruption case at Bank BJB. In addition to the Mercedes-Benz car, they seized a Royal Enfield Classic 500 Limited Edition motorcycle.

Both are among the 26 vehicles seized because they are considered to be related to the suspected corruption case at Bank BJB.

Among them are a Mitsubishi Pajero, Toyota Innova Zenix Hybrid, Toyota Avanza, and a Yamaha NMAX.

In the suspected corruption case at Bank BJB, KPK investigators have named at least five suspects. They are Yuddy Renaldi, President Director of Bank BJB (YR) and Commitment-Making Official (PPK), as well as Widi Hartoto (WH), Head of the Corsec Division at Bank BJB.

Furthermore, the KPK also named Ikin Asikin Dulmanan, the controller of the Antedja Muliatama and Cakrawala Kreasi Mandiri agencies, as a suspect. Then Suhendrik, the controller of the BSC Advertising and Wahana Semesta Bandung Ekspress agencies.

Meanwhile, the fifth person is Sophan Jaya Kusuma, the controller of the Cipta Karya Sukses Bersama agency. They were named suspects under Article 2 paragraph 1 or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes, as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001, in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 point 1 of the Criminal Code (KUHP).

This case resulted in state losses amounting to IDR 222 billion.
