Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission had already questioned Bengkulu City Council member Vinna Ledy Anggraheni twice, even though the interviews did not appear on the agency’s public schedule. The questioning took place on Aug. 4 and 10 at the KPK’s Red and White building in Jakarta.

Ledy had originally been summoned for Aug. 3 but did not attend. The KPK did not publicly explain the rescheduling. Its spokesman, Budi Prasetyo, said investigators questioned her as a witness in the development of an investigation into alleged bribery in the procurement of goods and services in Rejang Lebong Regency and other parts of Bengkulu province.

The examination was conducted on Aug. 4 and 10, 2026, at the KPK Red and White building.

According to Prasetyo, investigators examined Ledy’s knowledge of procurement projects in Bengkulu City. They will review, analyze and cross-check her testimony against statements from other witnesses and evidence found during searches. He described the interviews and searches as part of the investigative process to complete the evidence and clues needed to build the case.

As a member of the Bengkulu City Council, VLA was questioned by investigators about procurement projects in Bengkulu City.

— Budi PrasetyoHe described the focus of the witness interviews.

The KPK has seized a luxury house in South Jakarta and a car belonging to Ledy. Investigators suspect she also received money from projects carried out by the Bengkulu City Public Works and Housing Agency and from private parties. The agency is using a general investigation warrant, meaning suspects will be identified and formally named as the investigation proceeds.

The case grew out of an alleged project-bribery scheme in Rejang Lebong during the 2025-2026 fiscal years. Rejang Lebong Regent Muhammad Fikri Thobari is among those named as a suspect. The KPK has also searched the home of Bengkulu City’s public works chief, where investigators found and seized 4 billion rupiah in cash.

The questioning of witnesses and searches at several locations are a series of actions during the investigation stage to complete the evidence and clues related to this case.
