Ono Surono's Wife Attends KPK Summons, Questioned in Ade Kuswara Case

The wife of West Java Provincial DPRD Deputy Chairman Ono Surono, Setyowati Anggraini Saputro, attended a summons from the KPK to be examined as a witness. Setyowati was questioned to complete the investigation file for the alleged bribery and gratuity case involving Bekasi Regent for the 2025-2030 period, Ade Kuswara. According to information obtained, Setyowati arrived at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building at 09:56 WIB. This examination took place after the KPK searched Ono’s residences in Bandung and Indramayu some time ago. From those forced efforts, investigators seized several pieces of evidence allegedly related to the case, such as documents, Electronic Evidence (BBE), and hundreds of millions of rupiah in cash. The KPK will confirm these findings to the witnesses, including Ono, whose examination schedule will be arranged. Meanwhile, Ono’s lawyer, Sahali, has lodged a protest over the KPK’s forced measures. 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 violated 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, framing it as if they seized a lot of 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 on trial 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, 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, as well as Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or b or Article 13 UU Tipikor in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) first of the Criminal Code. 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 been submitted to the court. Sarjan is accused of bribing Regent Ade Kuswara with Rp11.4 billion to obtain the 2025 Fiscal Year (TA) work package. Sarjan is the Director of PT Zaki Karya Membangun and owner of CV Mancur Berdikari, CV Barok Konstruksi, CV Lor Jaya, CV Singkil Berkah Anugerah, and PT Tirta Jaya Mandiri. The alleged bribe money was given through intermediaries: HM Kunang with Rp1 billion. Then 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, including officials in the Bekasi Regency Government environment.
