Indramayu Deputy Regent Files Pre-trial Motion Following Suspect Designation in DPRD Housing Case
The Deputy Regent of Indramayu, Syaefudin, has filed a pre-trial lawsuit following his designation as a suspect by the West Java High Prosecutor’s Office (Kejati) in relation to the Indramayu DPRD housing allowance case. The lawsuit was registered at the Bandung District Court under case number 22/Pid.Pra/2026/PN Bdg on Thursday, 17 September 2026.
According to the Case Tracking Information System (SIPP), the classification of the case concerns the legality of the enforcement measures used to designate the individual as a suspect. The indictment description states: “Case Classification: The legality of the execution of Coercive Measures for Suspect Designation.”
Responding to the lawsuit, the Head of the Legal Affairs Division of the West Java High Prosecutor’s Office, Nur Sricahwijaya, stated that his office has prepared a team to face the pre-trial proceedings and is ready to proceed with the trial.
“The High Prosecutor’s Office has prepared a team to address the pre-trial application submitted by the individual concerned,” he said when confirmed on Monday (21/9/2026).
Syaefudin was named a suspect over alleged corruption regarding housing and transport allowances for the Indramayu DPRD for the 2022-2025 fiscal years, alongside two others, identified as IM and AF. All three are officials within the Indramayu Regency.
Syaefudin is alleged to have committed the corruption during his tenure as the Chairman of the Indramayu Regency DPRD for the 2019-2024 period. At the time, IM served as the Acting Secretary of the Indramayu DPRD, while AF served as the Secretary of the Indramayu DPRD for 2022-2025.
The West Java High Prosecutor’s Office summoned all three individuals on 12 June 2026. However, only IM and AF appeared, as Syaefudin failed to attend the summons, citing illness.
The prosecution subsequently issued a follow-up summons for the Deputy Regent of Indramayu. It is noted that the three suspects have not yet been detained by the West Java High Prosecutor’s Office despite being officially designated as suspects.
