“KPK investigators have confiscated Rp54 billion in cash related to alleged corruption in the procurement of EDC machines at BRI,” KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said on Thursday.
The latest seizure brings the total amount confiscated in the case to Rp65 billion (US$3.7 million).
Prasetyo said the funds were taken from a vendor tied to the EDC procurement project, calling it “a demonstration of good faith and cooperation” to ensure the probe runs effectively and helps restore state finances.

The agency has urged other vendors involved in the project to cooperate.
“The KPK also asks other vendors in the BRI EDC machine project to support the disclosure of this case,” he said.
He added that investigators may expand the case into corporate and money-laundering charges.
On June 26, 2025, KPK announced it had opened a probe into suspected graft in the Rp2.1 trillion (US$122 million) EDC machine procurement project.
Four days later, the agency revealed it had barred 13 individuals from leaving the country.
Those restricted include Catur Budi Harto (CBH), Indra Utoyo (IU), Dedi Sunardi (DS), MI, AJ, IS, AWS, IP, KS, EL, NI, RSK and SRD.
On July 1, 2025, KPK estimated state losses at Rp700 billion (US$40 million), or around 30% of the project value.
On July 9, the agency named five suspects: former BRI deputy president director Catur Budi Harto; former BRI digital and IT director and ex-Allo Bank president director Indra Utoyo; Dedi Sunardi, senior EVP for asset management and procurement at BRI; Elvizar, president director of PT Pasifik Cipta Solusi; and Rudy Suprayudi Kartadidjaja, president director of PT Bringin Inti Teknologi.
