Alias RK is currently being investigated related to the corruption case of the Fund Fund of West Java Bank (BJB).The latest, he is strongly suspected of using corruption money to buy a Mercedes-Benz car owned by the 3rd President of the Republic of Indonesia BJ Habibie.
According to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the RK bought the German brand car from Habibie’s son, Ilham Akbar Habibie.
“In today’s examination, investigators explored related to the sale of his assets (Ilham Habibie) to the RK’s brother, whose purchase was allegedly coming from the alleged crime of corruption,” said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo, Wednesday (3/9).
Mercedes-Benz who is now evidence is an old sedan produced between 1967-1971.This is a Mercy 280 SL which is also known as a pagoda.
In the design, the appearance of this car is seen to have a combination of sporty and classic aura, supported by elongated front hood, rounding headlights, and interesting the pagoda only has two doors as access to the cabin.
This car is also famous for the hard roof (hardtop) which is considered to have a unique shape.The nickname of the pagoda was given because the unique concave design of the roof was inspired by the architecture of traditional Asian temples and was the reason this car was still targeted by collectors.
To devour the road, Mercedes-Benz buried a 2,800 cc 6-cylinder engine in line with 170 hp.The cubication clearly made 280 SL more powerful than his brother, 230 SL or 250 SL.
Not only iconic, the ‘pagoda’ that RK bought became much more valuable because the letters were still in the name of Habibie.
“What makes it valuable, if I’m not mistaken, the STNK (vehicle registration certificate) is still a STNK on behalf of his father (Ilham Akbar Habibie’s father, or B. J. Habibie, ed.) Yes,” said the Acting Assistance and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu, so launched

Not yet paid off
RK is known to buy the car at a price of Rp2.6 billion, but both agree if payments can be paid in installments.RK is said to have only paid half or Rp1.3 billion.
“The car was bought, paid in installments but not yet paid off. So it has not yet property. I stated, if this was not paid in the near future, I pulled back and he (RK) agreed,” Ilham said.
Ilham said this agreement occurred in 2021, but he said he did not understand the details of sales because he was not directly involved.
Interestingly, even though the car has not been paid off, RK has changed the color of the paint, from the beginning the silver to blue.
“When it was used by Mr. RK, he apparently was in what year it changed color. Frankly without our knowledge,” Ilham said.
Now, the car has been confiscated by the KPK for further processing.
