KPK Traces Assets of Madiun Mayor During Examination of Maidi's Wife

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is tracing the assets of dismissed Madiun Mayor Maidi while examining his wife, Yuni Setyawati, as a witness in the alleged extortion case at Madiun City Government, on Tuesday (12/5/2026). “The mayor’s wife was questioned regarding the ownership of assets belonging to Mr M as the Mayor of Madiun,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo, at the Red and White Building, Jakarta, on Tuesday. Budi stated that investigators confirmed several assets owned by Maidi that are suspected to originate from corrupt criminal acts. Previously, the KPK designated Madiun Mayor Maidi as a suspect in the extortion case involving project fees, corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds, and other receipts or gratuities within the Madiun City Government (Pemkot). Not only Maidi, but the KPK also named Rochim Ruhdiyanto, Maidi’s trusted aide, and Thariq Megah, Head of the Madiun City Public Works Department (PUPR), as suspects. “The KPK has elevated this case to the investigation stage and designated three individuals as suspects,” said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, during a press conference at the KPK Red and White Building, on Tuesday (20/1/2026). The KPK revealed that the alleged extortion involving Maidi and associates began in July 2025. At that time, Maidi is suspected of directing the collection of funds through Sumarno, Head of Licensing at the Madiun City Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), and Sudandi, Head of the Regional Financial and Asset Agency (BKAD) of Madiun City. In this sting operation, the KPK also uncovered alleged corruption in the form of demands for fees for issuing permits within the Madiun City Government (Pemkot) to business actors, such as hotels, minimarkets, and franchises. In June 2025, Maidi is suspected of demanding money from a developer party amounting to Rp 600 million. The money was received by SK (Sri Kayatin) from the developer party of PT HB (Hemas Buana), which was then channelled to Maidi through an intermediary, Rochim, in two bank account transfers.
