JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has conducted searches at eight locations in connection with the alleged corruption of the Disaster Readiness Fund (DSP) at the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) from Thursday (15/10/2026) to Monday (19/10/2026).

“The KPK investigators carried out a series of searches at these eight locations,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in a statement on Tuesday (20/10/2026).

Budi noted that the targeted locations include homes, offices, and other sites in Jakarta, South Tangerang, and Bekasi.

“This includes the BNPB office located on Jalan Pramuka, East Jakarta, which was searched on Thursday (15/10),” he explained.

From the searches at several locations, the KPK seized documents, electronic evidence, cash, jewelry, and three vehicles believed to be related to the ongoing investigation.

“The investigators will conduct an analysis and request statements from various parties to clarify the items that have been seized,” he added.

Previously, the KPK named five individuals as suspects in the alleged corruption case involving the procurement of goods and services connected to the Disaster Readiness Fund (DSP) at BNPB on Wednesday (14/10/2026).

One of the suspects is Bima Setiawan, the brother and expert advisor of former BNPB head Suharyanto.

“Yes, that’s the information we have,” said KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto in Yogyakarta on Wednesday.

“We do not consider who they are. The ones being held accountable are those who performed or are suspected of committing unlawful acts,” he added.

Besides Bima, the KPK has also named four other suspects: Gabriel Purwaka Sigit (GPS), the BNPB Subdirector for assistance management and emergency response and the PPK; Richard Erlangga, an expert advisor to the BNPB head Suharyanto; and two private individuals, Gery P and Syifa NG.

In this case, the DSP funds from BNPB flowed to companies affiliated with Bima Setiawan.

According to Acting KPK Director of Investigations Ahmad Taufik Husein, this occurred during the period of 2024-2026 through a direct appointment method. The total procurement value amounted to Rp 148 billion.

“In 2024, the amount was Rp 45.76 billion; in 2025, it was Rp 52.27 billion; and in 2026, it was Rp 50 billion,” Taufik stated at the KPK Red and White Building in South Jakarta on Friday (16/10/2026).

Taufik indicated that in the use of DSP BNPP funds for procurement, the money that flowed to companies affiliated with Bima Setiawan was used for personal interests, including the purchase of shares in PT MDLA by PT AVE.

“PT AVE owns shares amounting to 150.4 million shares (1.07 percent) valued at Rp 206 per share as of October 13, 2026, equivalent to Rp 30.98 billion,” he noted.

The KPK immediately detained the suspects for the first 20 days from October 14 until November 2, 2026, at the KPK’s Red and White Building detention center.
