KPK suspects DPRD members acted as intermediaries in Anom Widiyantoro case
Parties within the DPRD are suspected of acting as the hub or intermediary in the case.
The Corruption Eradasting Commission (KPK) suspects members of the DPRD in Central Java of serving as intermediaries in an alleged extortion cluster involving a police officer stationed at the KPK and his father, targeting the inactive Regent of Pemalang, Anom Widiyantoro.
“The parties suspected of being the hub or intermediary are those within the DPRD,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo at the KPK Merah Putih Building, Jakarta, on Wednesday.
Consequently, Budi stated that several DPRD members, at both the Central Java Provincial and Pemalang Regency levels, were summoned by the KPK to be interrogated as witnesses in the alleged extortion case.
“The extent of their involvement will be investigated thoroughly,” he added.
On Wednesday (9/9), the KPK summoned Pemalang Regency DPRD members Nuryani and Fahmi Hakim for questioning as witnesses in the case.
The case originated from a sting operation (OTT) conducted by the KPK on 28 July 2026. One of the individuals arrested during the operation was Anom Widiyantoro.
On 30 July 2026, the KPK announced the results of the sting operation, naming four individuals as suspects in two separate alleged extortion clusters.
The KPK suspects that Anom, through an individual named Haris, requested money from various regional officials and private parties for personal gain. Haris allegedly collected funds totalling up to Rp1.98 billion.
The second cluster involves the alleged extortion of Anom, involving Setya Budi Dias Oktavianto and his father, Lilik Budi Suprianto. Setya is a member of the Indonesian National Police seconded as an administrative staff member at the KPK.
The KPK suspects that Setya provided information regarding the administrative processes of case handling to Lilik. This information was allegedly utilised by Lilik to solicit money from Anom by offering assistance in managing the case at the KPK.
