JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will investigate the provision of money to the Head of the Bekasi Regency Prosecutor (Kajari) Eddy Sumarman from the Regent of Bekasi Ade Kuswara and his father, H. M. Kunang.
From the information collected, Kunang is said to have handed over Rp300 million to Eddy. Then, Ade was also given Rp100 million.
"Later we will check the information, yes," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, December 23.
Meanwhile, when asked about sealing Eddy's house, Budi did not want to elaborate. He only said that the team in the field was sniffing out initial allegations of corruption.
"The sealing of a place certainly has its reasons, meaning that when in the field there is a need to seal a location, there is certainly an initial suspicion at that location. There is information or information needed to be able to help in the investigation process of this case," he said.
However, Budi has not explained the initial allegations found by the team until deciding to seal Eddy's house. After all, investigators are currently focusing on investigating the alleged bribery of the ijon project that ensnared Ade Kuswara with his father.
"Now we are still focusing on the bribery cluster. This is still early, yes," said Budi.
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.
Ade Kuswara and H.M Kunang as the recipients of bribes are 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, Sarjan 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.
