KPK Explains Reasons for Searching Ono Surono's Home

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has acknowledged that one of the reasons for conducting a search of the home of West Java DPRD Deputy Chairman Ono Surono (ONS) on 1 April 2026 was the suspicion that he received money from Sarjan (SRJ). Sarjan is a defendant in the alleged corruption case involving suspended Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara Kunang (ADK).

“Yes, among others,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists in Jakarta on Thursday (2/4/2026).

When asked about the amount of money allegedly received by Ono from Sarjan, Budi stated that the matter is still being investigated by the KPK.

“This is still being thoroughly examined, regarding the amount or how much money was given by SRJ to ONS, and of course, more importantly, the substance: why and for what purpose did SRJ give that amount of money to ONS?” he said.

Meanwhile, he indicated that there is an open possibility for the KPK to summon Ono Surono again as a witness in the alleged corruption case involving Ade Kunang.

“Yes, of course, there is the possibility of re-summoning. Especially since a search was conducted at his home,” he stated.

Previously, the KPK carried out a sting operation (OTT) and arrested ten people in Bekasi Regency, West Java, on 18 December 2025. On 19 December 2025, the KPK revealed that eight of the ten individuals were brought to the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in Jakarta for intensive examination. Two of the eight included Ade Kunang and his father, HM Kunang.

On the same date, the KPK announced the seizure of hundreds of millions of rupiah in the case allegedly related to bribery for projects in Bekasi Regency. On 20 December 2025, the KPK named Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara Kunang (ADK), his father who is also the Head of Sukadami Village, Cikarang Selatan Subdistrict, Bekasi Regency, HM Kunang (HMK), and private individual Sarjan (SRJ) as suspects in the alleged bribery case.

The KPK stated that Ade Kuswara and HM Kunang are suspects for allegedly receiving bribes, while Sarjan is a suspect for allegedly giving bribes. Meanwhile, on 15 January 2026, Ono Surono was examined as a witness. After being questioned by the KPK, he admitted to being asked about the flow of funds related to the case.
