JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is reported to have sealed two houses belonging to the Head of the Bekasi Regency Prosecutor's Office (Kajari) Eddy Sumarman in the Bekasi and Pondok Indah areas. The sealing was carried out by a team that carried out a series of hand-catching operations (OTT) against the Regent of Bekasi Ade Kuswara and his father, H. M. Kunang on Thursday, December 18.

"Two Kajari houses are currently sealed by the KPK, in Bekasi and in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta," said a source who knew information about the handling of the Bekasi Regency OTT, quoted on Monday, December 21.

Regarding this sealing, the acting deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, has explained. He said that the anti-corruption commission sniffed out the illegal practice carried out by Eddy Sumarman as the Kajari of Bekasi Regency.

"So, the sealing was carried out during the OTT, initially the perpetrator was suspected of committing a corruption crime," Asep said at a press conference at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Saturday morning, December 20.

Asep also said that the team at that time failed to bring Eddy together with the parties who were caught OTT in Bekasi Regency to the KPK Red and White building. However, he did not explain the cause.

Asep only mentioned that Eddy's involvement had been brought in the title of the case or exposed together with the leadership. But, the final decision, the name was not included in the same case as Ade Kuswara et al.

"The involvement of these parties will certainly be discussed in the expose, but those who are determined to be investigated are the suspects who have indeed met the sufficiency of the evidence," he explained.

Because of this condition, Asep said, his men had opened a seal at Eddy's house.

"Because of the lack of evidence, then for his property that was sealed, of course we will open it. Immediately after it was determined not to rise or not to be designated as a suspect, because that is his right," said Asep, who also served as the Director of Investigation of the KPK.

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. They were detained at the KPK State Detention House (Rutan) for the first 20 days until January 8, 2026.

Ade Kuswara and H.M Kunang as the recipients of bribes were suspected of violating Article 12 a or Article 11 and Article 12B of the Corruption Eradication Law (UU Tipikor) in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1-1 of the Criminal Code and Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or b or Article 13 of the Tipikor Law in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) -1 of the Criminal Code.

Meanwhile, the sergeant as the party who gave the bribe was suspected of violating Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or b or Article 13 of the Corruption Law.
