JAKARTA, Legal Literacy - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) stated that the determination of the Secretary-General of the DPR, Indra Iskandar, as a suspect has met the requirements of law, regarding the lawsuit pre-trial of the Secretary-General of the DPR at the South Jakarta District Court in the alleged corruption case of procurement of DPR official residences for the 2020 Fiscal Year.
KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in Jakarta, Sunday (1/25/2026), emphasized that the legal procedures carried out by the KPK have been in accordance with regulations. The determination of suspect status was carried out based on sufficient evidence.
“Every determination of a suspect is based on the adequacy of valid evidence as stipulated in the laws and regulations, both from formal and material aspects,” said Budi.
The KPK stated its respect for the legal rights of every citizen, including the filing of lawsuits to the court. Budi said that the KPK carries out its duties with the principle of professionalism.
“The KPK still upholds the presumption of innocence and respects the legal rights of all parties,” he said.
Pre-Trial Hearing Schedule of the Secretary-General of the DPR
The Case Tracing Information System (SIPP) of the South Jakarta District Court recorded that Indra Iskandar's application was registered under number 7/Pid.Pra/2026/PN JKT.SEL. This lawsuit tests the validity of the suspect designation procedure by investigators.
The preliminary hearing is scheduled to take place on Monday, February 2, 2026, in Courtroom 4. Until now, the KPK stated that it has not received an official summons from the court to attend the agenda.
“Currently, the KPK is still awaiting the relaas or official summons from the South Jakarta District Court regarding the implementation of the pre-trial hearing,” said Budi.
Regarding the substance of the lawsuit, the KPK views this legal action as part of judicial control.
“The filing of a pre-trial motion is a right guaranteed by law and is part of the legal control mechanism in the criminal justice system,” he said.
Indra Iskandar is recorded to have filed a similar request on May 16, 2024, regarding his suspect status. In addition, a lawsuit regarding the legality of the confiscation in the same case was also registered, but withdrawn on Monday, May 27, 2024.
Awaiting State Loss Calculation
In this case, the KPK has named seven suspects. KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto confirmed the status of these parties on Friday (7/3/2025).
“For the seven suspects, namely Indra Iskandar as Budget User (PA) and his colleagues,” said Setyo.
The suspects have been prevented from traveling abroad. However, detention has not yet been carried out because investigators are still awaiting the results of the audit from the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).
“Still awaiting the calculation of state financial losses by BPKP,” he said.
