KPK Searches the House of the Head of the West Java PDIP DPD Ono Surono in Relation to the Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara Case

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched the house of the Chairman of the PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) DPD Ono Surono today. This forced effort is related to alleged bribes and ijon projects that ensnared the non-active Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara.

"Investigators conducted a search at the ONS house," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his written statement, Wednesday, April 1.

Budi said the search was carried out in the Bandung area, West Java. The findings of investigators from the activity have not been detailed because the process is still ongoing.

"We will update the development," he said.

The KPK suspects that the Chairman of the West Java DPD PDIP received money from Sarjan who is a suspect in this case. This suspicion was conveyed after Ono was examined as a witness on Thursday, January 15.

The KPK has not detailed how much money was received. However, Ono was then examined to investigate the allegations.

Meanwhile, Ono Surono admitted that he received dozens of questions from investigators, including those related to the flow of money for the alleged bribery of the ijon project that ensnared the inactive Regent of West Bekasi. He is known to have been examined from 08.23 WIB to 14.20 WIB at the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

"There are several, lah, who are asked. Yes (including related to the flow of money, ed)," said Ono while rushing after undergoing an examination.

Ono was also asked about his duties as the Chairman of the West Java DPD PDIP. But, he did not elaborate further on the examination.

As previously reported, the KPK named Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara together with his father, H. M Kumang who also served as the Head of Sukadami Village, South Cikarang District; and a private named Sarjan as suspects in the alleged bribery case for the ijon project. They were detained at the KPK State Detention House (Rutan) for the first 20 days until January 8, 2026.

The three became suspects after being caught in a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on Thursday, December 18.
