KPK to summon the husband and child of Fadia Arafiq who received corruption money

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said it will summon the husband and child of Pekalongan regency’s non-active regent Fadia Arafiq, who were previously named in connection with alleged money flow in a corruption case. They are Mukhtaruddin Ashraff Abu (ASH), a member of the DPR’s X Commission and Fadia’s husband, and Muhammad Sabiq Ashraff (MSA) and Mehnaz Na (MHN), her son and daughter respectively, who sit on the Pekalongan Regency DPRD (Regional House of Representatives). “Certainly, investigators will summon the husband and child,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told journalists in Jakarta on Friday. He explained that the summons relate to alleged money flows and the management of PT Raja Nusantara Berjaya (RNB). Earlier, on 3 March 2026, KPK arrested Fadia Arafiq along with an aide and trusted aides in Semarang, Central Java. Subsequently, KPK announced the arrest of 11 other individuals from Pekalongan, Central Java. The string of arrests formed part of KPK’s seventh dague-arrest operation (OTT) in 2026 and took place during Ramadhan. On 4 March 2026, KPK named Fadia Arafiq as the sole suspect in a case involving alleged corruption related to outsourcing services or labour outsourcing, and other procurements within Pekalongan Regency for the 2023-2026 fiscal year. KPK said Fadia Arafiq is suspected of causing conflicts of interest by ensuring a family-owned company, PT Raja Nusantara Berjaya, won several procurements within the Pekalongan Regency government. Fadia Arafiq and her family are said to have received Rp19 billion from those contracts, comprising Rp13.7 billion for herself and family, Rp2.3 billion shared with the company director and a domestic worker named Rul Bayatun, and Rp3 billion in cash withdrawals yet to be distributed.
