Former governor of West Java
Ridwan Kamil
Alias RK is suspected of using corruption money to buy Mercedes-Benz 280 SL owned by the 3rd President BJ Habibie.
The car was bought by installments for Rp2.6 billion from Habibie’s son, Ilham Akbar Habibie.But until now the RK has not paid it out because the payment is only half or Rp1.3 billion.
“Last year I called Pak Ridwan Kamil to the house, not myself, there was a witness too. I stated that if this was not paid in the near future, then I pulled back and he agreed,” Ilham said after undergoing an examination as a witness at the Red and White Building Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Jakarta, Wednesday (3/9).
“Not paid off either, we want to withdraw but the workshop does not want to love, because he also has not been paid,” Ilham added.
Ilham said the purchase agreement occurred in 2021, but he said he did not understand the sales details 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.
The process of buying and selling cars has not been completed, now the legal case actually wrapped the car.The KPK suspects that the car is related to corruption cases in the Bank of West Java (BJB) and involves the RK
“Not long after, there was a KPK, we didn’t know anything about the KPK because this was none of our business,” he said.
Mercy 280 SL
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.
