KPK Summons Ono Surono's Wife Today

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled an examination of Setyowati Anggraini Saputro, wife of West Java Provincial DPRD Deputy Chairman Ono Surono, on Tuesday (7/4). Setyowati will be questioned as a witness in the alleged bribery and gratification case implicating Bekasi Regent for the 2025-2030 period, Ade Kuswara. “The examination will take place at the KPK Merah Putih Building under the name SAS (household manager),” stated KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in a written statement on Tuesday (7/4). There has been no confirmation yet on whether Setyowati has complied with the investigators’ summons. Budi also could not provide information on the specific matters the investigators intend to probe with the witness. Such details are typically disclosed by the KPK after the examination is completed. Previously, the KPK searched Ono’s residences in Bandung and Indramayu. Several pieces of evidence related to the case, such as documents, Electronic Evidence (BBE), and cash amounting to hundreds of millions of rupiah, were seized by the investigators. The KPK will confirm these findings to the witnesses, including Ono, whose examination schedule will be arranged. Meanwhile, Ono’s lawyer, Sahali, has protested the coercive measures taken by the KPK. According to him, the search was conducted without permission from the local district court chief. “The investigators also seized items unrelated to the case, namely a 2010 notebook, the 2015 PDI Perjuangan Congress Book, and one damaged Samsung mobile phone,” said Sahali in a written statement responding to the search in Indramayu on Friday (3/4). He stated that the seizure violates Article 113 paragraph 3 of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), which stipulates that during a search, investigators may only examine and/or seize evidence related to the criminal offence. “We also regret the unprofessional attitude of the KPK investigators, who framed it as if they seized many items by bringing suitcases when they only took two personal agenda books, a party book, and one damaged Samsung phone from the house in Indramayu,” he concluded. In the ongoing process, the KPK suspects Ono of receiving money from a businessman named Sarjan, who is currently being tried at the Corruption Court (Tipikor) at the Bandung District Court (PN). Besides Sarjan, the KPK is also prosecuting Regent Ade Kuswara, a PDIP cadre, and the Head of Sukadami Village in South Cikarang Subdistrict, H.M. Kunang, who is also the father of Regent Ade Kuswara. Ade Kuswara and H.M. Kunang, as bribe recipients, are charged with violating Article 12a or Article 11 and Article 12B of the Corruption Eradication Law (UU Tipikor) in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 first of the Criminal Code (KUHP), as well as Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or b or Article 13 UU Tipikor in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) first KUHP. Meanwhile, Sarjan, as the bribe giver, is charged with Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or b or Article 13 UU Tipikor. Sarjan’s case file has already been submitted to the court. Sarjan is accused of bribing Regent Ade Kuswara with Rp11.4 billion to obtain work packages for the 2025 Fiscal Year (TA). Sarjan is the Director of PT Zaki Karya Membangun and owner of CV Mancur Berdikari, CV Barok Kostruksi, CV Lor Jaya, CV Singkil Berkah Anugerah, and PT Tirta Jaya Mandiri. The alleged bribe money was given through intermediaries: H.M. Kunang with Rp1 billion; witness Sugiarto with Rp3.3 billion; Ricky Yuda Bahtiar alias Nyai with Rp5.1 billion; and Rahmat bin Sawin alias Acep with Rp2 billion. In addition to Ade Kuswara, prosecutors state that Sarjan is also suspected of giving money to other parties. These include the Head of the Water Resources, Public Works, and Construction Agency of Bekasi Regency, Henri Lincoln, with Rp2.94 billion; the Head of the Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency of Bekasi Regency, Benny Sugiarto Prawiro, with Rp500 million; the Head of the People’s Housing, Settlement Areas, and Land Agency of Bekasi Regency, Nurchaidir, with Rp300 million; and the Head of the Education Agency of Bekasi Regency, Imam Faturochman, with Rp280 million. For his actions, Sarjan is charged with violating Article 5 paragraph 1 letter a or Article 5 paragraph 1 letter b or Article 13 of the Corruption Eradication Law (UU Tipikor) in conjunction with Article 127 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 618 of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code (KUHP).
