The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled an examination of Setyowati Anggraini Saputro (SAS), the wife of PDIP politician Ono Surono, on Tuesday (7 April 2026). Setyowati Anggraini will be questioned as a witness in the case of alleged bribery involving advance payments for projects that has ensnared inactive Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara Kunang (ADK).

“Correct (Ono Surono’s wife will be examined),” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters on Tuesday (7 April 2026).

The examination will take place at KPK headquarters. The KPK has not detailed the questions that will be posed to Setyowati. “The examination will be conducted at the KPK Red and White Building,” Budi stated.

The KPK had previously searched two homes owned by Ono Surono located in Bandung City and Indramayu Regency. The KPK dismissed allegations of intimidation towards Ono’s wife during the search process.

“There was none (intimidation action). The search activity proceeded smoothly and well. Even the family received the activity openly,” Budi said.

The KPK also confirmed that the searches were to gather additional evidence in the case. Through the searches, the KPK seized documents, electronic evidence, and cash amounting to hundreds of millions of rupiah.

“In this search, the investigators found and seized several pieces of evidence. This evidence will later assist the investigation process of this case,” Budi said.

The KPK has designated Bekasi Regent for the 2025–present period, Ade Kuswara Kunang (ADK), along with his father HM Kunang (HMK), as suspects in the alleged corruption case involving the receipt of gratuities or promises in the form of project advance money.

This suspect designation is a follow-up to the KPK’s raid operation conducted on Thursday, 18 December 2025, in Bekasi Regency. In addition to Ade and HM Kunang, the KPK also designated private individual Sarjan (SRJ) as a suspect for giving bribes.

Ade Kuswara is alleged to have communicated with Sarjan since late 2024, after being inaugurated as regent. From December 2024 to December 2025, Ade and his father are alleged to have routinely requested project advances from Sarjan, even though the projects had not yet commenced.

“The total advance given by SRJ to ADK and HMK reached Rp9.5 billion, carried out in four handovers through intermediaries,” said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, during a press conference at the KPK Red and White Building in South Jakarta on Saturday (20 December 2025).

Ade Kuswara is also alleged to have received other fund flows from several parties throughout 2025, with a total value of Rp4.7 billion. In the raid operation, the KPK seized cash evidence of Rp200 million at Ade’s home, which is suspected to be the remainder of the fourth advance payment from Sarjan.

For their actions, Ade Kuswara and HM Kunang are charged with violating Article 12 letter a or Article 11 and Article 12B of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) first of the Criminal Code. Meanwhile, Sarjan is charged under Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or b or Article 13 of the Corruption Eradication Law.
