The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named two suspects in the case of the alleged misuse of corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds of the Indonesian Central Bank, or Bank Indonesia (BI).

“We have named two suspects for several months who are suspected of obtaining funds originating from Bank Indonesia’s CSR,” Rudi Setiawan, Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, said as quoted by Antara on Monday, December 17, 2024.

Rudi did not explain further who were named as suspects, and did not reveal the role of each suspect in this case.

The KPK has also searched the BI Head Office and confiscated documents and evidence of alleged corruption of CSR funds. However, it was not explained in detail what was confiscated. The documents will be analyzed before the KPK summons witnesses.

“Regarding the amount of CSR fund, who received it, of course that’s what we are looking for,” he said.

Ramdan Denny Prakoso, BI Spokesman, confirmed that the KPK had searched the BI office.

“We received the arrival of the KPK investigators at the Bank Indonesia Head Office in Jakarta on December 16, 2024 (Monday). The arrival of the KPK investigators to Bank Indonesia was to complete the investigation related to the alleged misuse of Bank Indonesia’s CSR that was distributed,” Denny said on Monday, December 17, 2024.
