The detention was carried out after Mahrus completed his\nexamination as a suspect in an alleged bribery case related to the\nmanagement of grant funds for community groups in the East Java\nProvincial Government for the 2019-2022 fiscal year. Mahrus was seen\nwearing an orange vest typical of KPK detainees, numbered 183, with his\nhands cuffed. He was taken to the KPK Detention Centre at 17:26 WIB.\nWhen asked about the charges against him, the Gerindra Party politician\nremained silent and followed the guards to the detention vehicle.\nPreviously, on 22 July, the KPK had already detained three suspects from\nthe private sector: Achmad Yahya and M. Fathullah from Pasuruan Regency,\nand Ra. Wahid Ruslan from Bangkalan Regency. They are accused of being\nthe bribe givers and are charged under Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a\nor letter b, or Article 13 of the Corruption Eradication Law in\nconjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1 of the Criminal Code. This\ncase is a development from a covert investigation that led to a\nhand-catching operation in December 2022 involving the Deputy Speaker of\nthe East Java DPRD for the 2019-2024 period, Sahat Tua P. Simanjuntak.\nOn 10 October 2025, the KPK named 21 individuals as suspects, comprising\n4 recipients and 17 givers. The suspected bribe recipients are former\nEast Java DPRD Speaker Kusnadi, Deputy Speakers Anwar Sadad and Achmad\nIskandar, and Anwar Sadad\u2019s staff member Bagus Wahyudiono. The 17\nsuspected bribe givers include former East Java DPRD member Mahud,\nSampang Regency DPRD Deputy Speaker Fauzan Adima, Probolinggo Regency\nDPRD Deputy Speaker Jon Junaidi, and several private individuals from\nvarious regencies, including Moch Mahrus, who was a private party from\nProbolinggo before becoming a DPRD member. The KPK later discontinued\nthe case against suspect Kusnadi due to his death.<\/p>",
