The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has revealed that the state may have suffered losses amounting to Rp700 billion (US$43 million) in a suspected corruption case involving the procurement of electronic data capture (EDC) machines by State Bank BRI between 2020 and 2024.

“In this case, which covers the 2020–2024 period with a procurement budget of Rp 2.1 trillion, preliminary findings from investigators estimate state losses to be around Rp700 billion − roughly 30 percent of the total budget,” KPK spokesman, Budi Prasetyo, spoke to the media on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, while adding that the figure may increase as the investigation progresses.

The anti-graft agency is working in coordination with the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) and the Development Finance Comptroller (BPKP) to verify the estimated loss to state finances.

“We will collaborate with the BPK and BPKP to finalize the calculation of the financial loss,” Budi said.

The case became public after the KPK conducted searches on Thursday, June 26, 2025 at two BRI headquarters on Jalan Sudirman and Jalan Gatot Subroto in Jakarta. The raids were part of an ongoing investigation into irregularities in the procurement of EDC machines.

While the investigation has entered the formal inquiry stage, no suspects have been named yet. Budi said the KPK is still identifying potential parties involved in orchestrating the procurement process.

“There is an indication that the procurement process was manipulated,” Budi said. “KPK will continue to trace and assess those potentially involved in setting up the EDC procurement.”

In response, BRI Corporate Secretary Agustya Hendy Bernadi expressed the bank’s full support for the legal process. “We respect the actions taken by the KPK in their effort to uphold the law and eradicate corruption,” he said in a statement.

Agustya assured the public that BRI will fully cooperate with investigators and uphold all government and regulatory policies. “As a state-owned enterprise, we are committed to maintaining good corporate governance and regulatory compliance.”

He also emphasized that the bank has taken measures to strengthen internal controls and minimize future risks. “We want to assure the public that this investigation does not affect BRI’s operations or services, and our customers can continue to transact normally, safely, and securely.”
