JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seized a number of evidence related to the alleged bribery of the ijon project at the house of the Chairman of the West Java PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) DPD Ono Surono on Thursday, April 2.

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the seizure was carried out when investigators searched Ono's house in Indramayu Regency, West Java. This finding is needed to investigate the alleged bribery that ensnared the non-active Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara.

"For the search in Indramayu, we also updated that in the search, investigators secured several documents and electronic evidence," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, April 6.

"The documents and evidence that were seized will be analyzed. "For later, it will be investigated and confirmed in the examination of the parties," said Budi.

"Including the possibility that later on the examination schedule will be made to the ONS brother, yes, to explain the findings of the investigators in the two search activities," he continued.

The KPK also seized documents and hundreds of millions of rupiah from Ono Surono's house in Bandung City, West Java.

In this case, the KPK suspects that Ono Surono as Deputy Chairman of the West Java Provincial DPRD received money from Sarjan who has been named a suspect. The suspicion was conveyed after he underwent an examination 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.

As previously reported, the KPK named Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara along 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 of the ijon project. This determination was made after they were 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.
