Jakarta. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) may summon and question senior officials at Bank Indonesia (BI) and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) as it investigates alleged corruption involving corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds managed by the two institutions.

KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said the probe remains active and expansive, with investigators prepared to call all relevant parties to fully establish the case, including lawmakers and top officials at BI and OJK.

“The investigation is continuing to progress,” Budi told reporters on Tuesday. “KPK is not only conducting searches at several locations but also carrying out a series of examinations of multiple parties, both from the House of Representatives and from Bank Indonesia and OJK.”

He said questioning is aimed at confirming the suspected roles of individuals and their links to evidence already seized by investigators. Witnesses, he added, are being examined to help clarify the alleged scheme and to verify documents and electronic data collected during searches.

The case centers on suspected corruption in the distribution and use of CSR funds allocated by BI and OJK through social programs. Investigators have seized a number of assets believed to be linked to the alleged graft and have conducted high-profile searches, including at the office of BI Governor Perry Warjiyo on Dec. 16, 2024, and at one directorate within OJK three days later.

From those operations, KPK confiscated documents and electronic evidence that it says are relevant to the alleged misuse of funds.

The investigation has also cast a wide net over members of the House of Representatives’ Commission XI, which oversees finance and banking. KPK Deputy Chairman Johanis Tanak previously said that all lawmakers who served on Commission XI during the 2019–2024 term and received CSR funds from BI or OJK could potentially face legal consequences.

“All members of Commission XI who received funds from BI and OJK must be held legally accountable, just like the two Commission XI members who have already been named as suspects,” he said in a text message on Dec. 12.

Those suspects are former lawmakers Satori and Heri Gunawan, who have been formally charged in the case. KPK alleges that both misused CSR funds for purposes unrelated to the programs’ intended social objectives.

According to investigators, the two lawmakers received a combined Rp 28.38 billion ($1.8 million) in illicit gratification from CSR funds. Heri Gunawan allegedly received Rp 15.8 billion, while Satori received Rp 12.52 billion.

KPK says Heri Gunawan used the money for personal interests, including building a house, operating beverage outlets, and purchasing land and vehicles. Satori is accused of channeling the funds into time deposits, buying land, constructing a showroom, and acquiring vehicles.

Budi said investigators are continuing to examine whether other parties — including officials within BI and OJK — were involved, particularly in the planning, budgeting and oversight of the CSR programs.

“The investigation is looking at how the programs were planned, whether the budgets were prepared properly, how implementation was monitored in the field, and whether accountability mechanisms were followed,” he said. “This includes examining whether BI and OJK monitored the execution of these programs and whether fund accountability was carried out in an appropriate and transparent manner.”

The suspects have been charged under Indonesia’s anti-corruption law, as well as provisions on participation and continuing offenses in the Criminal Code. They also face charges under the country’s anti–money laundering law.
