  • Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confirms its investigation into alleged CSR fund corruption involving Bank Indonesia and OJK is progressing.
  • The KPK has not yet detained suspects, despite a year passing since the investigation order.
  • Progress includes witness summons, examinations, searches, and evidence seizures, aimed at asset recovery.

Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has stated that its investigation into alleged corruption involving corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds from Bank Indonesia (BI) and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) continues to move forward positively. The anti-graft agency acknowledged that no suspects have been detained, even though a year has passed since the investigation order was issued.

KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo confirmed the ongoing progress in the case, highlighting that investigators have summoned and questioned witnesses, conducted searches, and seized evidence. These actions are part of the KPK's initial efforts to optimize asset recovery, aiming to ensure that any seized assets can be confiscated for the state or used as restitution once a defendant is found guilty.

The investigation order for this case was issued on August 5, 2025, with suspects named two days later. The case originated from an analysis report by the Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) and public complaints. The KPK began its general investigation in December 2024.

Searches were conducted at locations including the Bank Indonesia building in Jakarta on December 16, 2024, and the OJK office on December 19, 2024. The case involves alleged corruption in the distribution of CSR funds, specifically the use of BI Social Program (PSBI) and Financial Services Facilitator (PJK) funds between 2020 and 2023. Two suspects have been named: Satori (ST) and Heri Gunawan (HG), both members of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) for the 2019-2024 and current 2024-2029 terms.
