KPK Seizes IDR 22 Billion in Assets from Lawmaker Anwar Sadad and His Staff

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has seized a number of assets belonging to House of Representatives (DPR RI) member Anwar Sadad (AS) and his staffer, Bagus Wahyudiono (BGS), worth IDR 22 billion, allegedly linked to a corruption case involving grant funds for community groups in the East Java Provincial Government for the 2019–2022 fiscal years. “In this case, the KPK has also seized assets belonging to AS and BGS with a total value of approximately IDR 22 billion,” said Acting Director of KPK Investigations Achmad Taufik Husein at the KPK’s Red and White Building in Jakarta on Wednesday. Taufik detailed that the seized assets include a plot of land in Surabaya worth IDR 4.5 billion, two shophouses in Surabaya worth IDR 3 billion, a house in Surabaya worth IDR 4 billion, and an apartment unit in Malang worth IDR 1 billion. Other assets include a sports arena in Probolinggo Regency worth IDR 3 billion, an LPG bulk filling station in Banyuwangi Regency worth IDR 2 billion, a house in Surabaya worth IDR 2 billion, a house in Mojokerto Regency worth IDR 500 million, and a house in Pasuruan Regency worth IDR 2 billion. Despite these seizures, the KPK confirmed it will continue to trace the flow of funds and other related assets. “The KPK will continue to investigate the flow of money found according to the facts in the investigation process, including tracing assets if they are still found from the named suspects and are suspected to be proceeds of the corruption crimes they committed,” he said. The KPK previously announced it had named 21 suspects in the development of the East Java grant fund corruption case. The case development stemmed from a sting operation in December 2022 targeting the then-Deputy Speaker of the East Java DPRD for the 2019–2024 period, Sahat Tua Simanjuntak. On 2 October 2025, the KPK announced the identities of the 21 suspects. However, on 16 December 2025, the KPK dropped the investigation for one suspect who had died, namely East Java DPRD Speaker for the 2019–2024 period, Kusnadi. The remaining 20 suspects consist of three alleged bribe recipients: Anwar Sadad, Achmad Iskandar, and Bagus Wahyudiono; and 17 alleged bribe givers, including Mahfud, Fauzan Adima, Jon Junaidi, Ahmad Heriyadi, Ahmad Affandy, Abdul Motollib, Moch. Mahrus, A. Royan, Wawan Kristiawan, Sukar, Ra Wahid Ruslan, Mashudi, M. Fathullah, Achmad Yahya, Ahmad Jailani, Hasanuddin, and Jodi Pradana Putra. As of 22 July 2026, the KPK had only detained seven of the 20 suspects: Wawan Kristiawan, Sukar, Hasanuddin, Jodi Pradana Putra, Achmad Yahya, M. Fathullah, and Ra Wahid Ruslan.
