KPK Seizes Five Assets in Ma'ruf Cahyono Gratification Case

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has seized five assets related to an alleged gratification case within the Secretariat General of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR RI) that has ensnared former MPR Secretary-General Ma’ruf Cahyono. Acting Director of Investigations at the KPK, Achmad Taufik Husein, revealed that the seized assets include a Harley Davidson motorcycle, a Jeep Rubicon, a guitar worth Rp10 million, a Brompton bicycle worth Rp30 million, and electronic evidence in the form of a Samsung Z Fold mobile phone worth Rp20 million. “A number of pieces of evidence are suspected to be proceeds from procurement partners of goods and services within the MPR RI Secretariat General,” Taufik said at the KPK’s Red and White Building in Jakarta on Thursday. He added that the KPK also seized evidence related to the financing of a house renovation amounting to Rp1.9 billion and the financing of the wedding reception for Ma’ruf Cahyono’s child, which was held in November 2020. “The KPK is continuing to trace assets and evidence related to this case to optimise the recovery of state financial losses,” Taufik stated. The KPK had previously announced the commencement of an investigation into the alleged gratification case related to the procurement of goods and services at the MPR Secretariat General on 20 June 2025. On 23 June 2025, the KPK began summoning witnesses and announced that it had named a state official as a suspect. Subsequently, on 3 July 2025, the KPK revealed that the suspect in the case was Ma’ruf Cahyono. The KPK detained Ma’ruf Cahyono at the KPK Red and White Building Detention Centre on 9 July 2026. The KPK suspects that Ma’ruf Cahyono, during his tenure as MPR Secretary-General, received gratuities amounting to approximately Rp37.8 billion.
