Indonesia Corruption Agency Names Four Suspects in Lamongan Building Project Scandal

Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has officially designated four individuals as suspects in a corruption case linked to the construction of the Lamongan Regency Government building in East Java. The project was financed through the regional budget between 2017 and 2019, and the alleged corruption has resulted in an estimated state loss of Rp 35.7 billion.

Achmad Taufik Husein, the acting Director of Investigation at KPK, announced the suspect designations on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. He emphasized the commission's stance against mismanagement of state funds. The four suspects are SKM, a Commitment Making Officer at the Lamongan Housing and Settlement Agency in 2017; ABD, Director of PT Agung Pradana Putra; MYM, a Project Management Committee member for the building construction and Director of CV Absolute; and HDH, General Manager of PT Brantas Abipraya (Persero) from 2015 to 2019.

As of Tuesday evening, KPK detained SKM, ABD, and HDH for an initial 20-day period. MYM has not yet been detained as they did not respond to the investigator's summons on the same day. This case stems from an investigation that began in September 2023, involving searches, witness interviews, and tracing the flow of funds for the construction project. KPK received an audit report on the state losses from the Financial and Development Supervision Agency (BPKP) in January 2026, which strengthened the evidence base for the case. Taufik stated that investigators are continuing to examine the case details, including the roles of each suspect and the potential involvement of others who may have benefited from the project funds. He reiterated KPK's commitment to overseeing infrastructure development budgets to ensure they benefit the public and remain free from corruption.
