KPK Summons Ono Surono's Wife as Witness in Bekasi Regent Bribery Case

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned Setyowati Anggraini Saputro, the wife of West Java DPRD Deputy Chairman Ono Surono, as a witness in the alleged bribery case involving ‘ijon’ (kickbacks) for projects that ensnared dismissed Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara Kunang.

“The examination is being conducted at the KPK Merah Putih Building,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in his statement on Tuesday (7/4/2026).

However, Budi has not yet disclosed the details of the matters to be explored in the examination.

In this case, the KPK has searched two of Ono Surono’s houses located in Bandung and Indramayu, West Java, from Wednesday (1/4/2026) to Thursday (2/4/2026).

Meanwhile, in Indramayu, the KPK seized several documents and electronic evidence items.

Budi stated that the KPK investigative team was well received by Ono Surono’s family and experienced no interference during the searches.

He said the searches proceeded smoothly, with the family and local apparatus being cooperative.

Budi also emphasised that the investigators did not intimidate Ono Surono’s wife.

“There was none. The search activities ran smoothly and well,” he said.

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

KPK Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu said the bribery case began when Ade Kuswara communicated with Sarjan, a private party providing project packages in the Bekasi Regency administration.

From that communication, over the past year, Regent Ade routinely requested ‘ijon’ for project packages from Sarjan through intermediaries including HM Kunang.

“The total ‘ijon’ given by Sarjan to Regent Ade together with HM Kunang amounted to Rp9.5 billion. The money was handed over in four instances through intermediaries,” Asep said at a press conference on Saturday.

Thus, the total money received by Regent Ade reached Rp14.2 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 Eradication 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.
