KPK Probes Allegations of Police Officer Receiving Rp 16 Billion Fee in Bekasi Regency Bribery Case

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is delving into allegations that an active police officer named Yayat Sudrajat received a fee of Rp 16 billion related to a suspected bribery case for project advancements in Bekasi Regency.

“That is correct; this is already a fact from the trial, and we have also received information from the public prosecutors’ team that there is a fee of approximately Rp 16 billion acknowledged by Yayat, and this is documented in the examination record,” said Acting Director of Investigations at the KPK, Achmad Taufik Husein, on Tuesday (14/4/2026).

Taufik assured that the investigation team will not overlook the facts from the trial. Moreover, he said, new information has emerged during the proceedings.

“That evidence is sufficient. It’s time for this to proceed as it is currently underway,” he stated.

In this case, the KPK named Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara Kunang, HM Kunang (the regent’s father), and Sarjan as a private party as suspects on Saturday (21/12/2025).

Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution at the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, explained that the bribery case began when Ade Kuswara communicated with Sarjan, a private provider of project packages within Bekasi Regency.

From that communication, over the past year, Regent Ade routinely requested ‘ijon’ (advancement fees) for project packages from Sarjan via intermediary HM Kunang.

“The total ‘ijon’ given by Sarjan to Regent Ade together with HM Kunang amounted to Rp 9.5 billion. The money was handed over in four instances through intermediaries,” Asep said during a press conference on Saturday.

Thus, the total amount received by Regent Ade reached Rp 14.2 billion.

For their actions, Regent Ade Kuswara together with HM Kunang as recipients are charged under Article 12a or Article 11 and Article 12B of the Corruption Law in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) first of the Criminal Code, as well as Article 5 paragraph (1) letters a or b or Article 13 of the Anti-Money Laundering Law in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) first of the Criminal Code.

Meanwhile, Sarjan as the giver is charged under Article 5 paragraph (1) letters a or b or Article 13 of the Anti-Money Laundering Law.
