JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) again summoned Beni Saputra as the former Secretary of the Cipta Karya and Spatial Planning Service of Bekasi Regency today, January 12.

He will be questioned in the investigation of the alleged bribery of the ijon project that ensnared the non-active Regent Ade Kuswara and two other suspects.

"The examination was carried out at the KPK's Merah Putih building," KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo told reporters in a written statement, Monday, January 12.

From the information collected, Beni was said to be an intermediary in the transfer of money from Ade Kuswara and his father, H. M. Kunang to Eddy Sumarman who had previously served as the Head of the Bekasi Regency District Attorney's Office (Kajari).

Ade is reported to have given Rp100 million to Eddy to secure the case. Meanwhile, his father, H. M. Kunang is suspected of also giving Rp300 million with the same purpose.

Beni is known to have been caught in OTT some time ago but was released by the KPK. He was also questioned on Monday, January 5.

Furthermore, still in the same case, the KPK also examined Member of the Bekasi Regency DPRD Nyumarno. He was supposed to be examined last week, January 8 but did not attend so that a rescheduling was made.

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.
