JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned six witnesses related to the alleged extortion that ensnared the non-active Mayor of Madiun Maidi today, April 13. One of them is Edwin Susanto who is the Chairman of the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) of Madiun City.
"The examination was carried out at the Madiun City KPPN office," KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo told reporters in a written statement.
The following are the details of the six witnesses summoned by the anti-corruption commission:
Agus Pamuji as the Head of the HTPT BPN Madiun City;
Joko Wijayanto as Developer of PT Puri Majapahit;
Faizal Rachmawan as a private party;
Soeko Dwi Handiarto as the Mayor of Madiun City;
Nabil Abubakar Sungkar as the owner of the Al Irsyad Foundation of Madiun City; and
Edwin Susanto as the Chairman of the Madiun City KONI.
Budi has not detailed the material of the sixth witness's examination. Likewise with their presence in front of investigators.
However, witnesses who are summoned by the anti-corruption commission are usually suspected of knowing about the corruption being handled.
As previously reported, the KPK named Maidi as a suspect in an alleged corruption case in the form of extortion and gratification in the Madiun City Government environment. The determination of the suspect was carried out after the KPK held a Hand Capture Operation (OTT) on Monday, January 19.
In addition to Maidi, the KPK also named two other suspects, namely Rochim Ruhdiyanto as a private party and Maidi's confidant. As well as Thariq Megah as Head of the Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Office of the City of Madiun.
This matter began in July 2025, when Maidi allegedly directed the collection of money through the Head of the Madiun City DPMPTSP, Sumarno and the Head of the BKAD of Madiun City, Sudandi. The money was allegedly requested from the administrator of the Bhakti Husada Mulia Madiun STIKES Foundation.
Maidi is suspected of extorting the foundation by Rp350 million related to granting access road permits. The demand for money was allegedly disguised as a 14-year lease fee under the pretext of the need for corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds for the City of Madiun.
This request was then followed up by the foundation handing over the money through a transfer to an account in the name of CV Sekar Arum which was controlled by Rochim Ruhdiyanto on Monday, January 19. The KPK then carried out OTT on the same day.
Not stopping there, the KPK found alleged practices of requesting licensing fees to a number of business actors in Madiun City, ranging from hotels, minimarkets to franchise businesses. In June 2025, Maidi allegedly asked for Rp. 600 million to the developer through an intermediary.
Then the KPK also revealed the alleged request for a fee for the road maintenance project Package II worth Rp5.1 billion. In this project, Maidi allegedly through the Head of the PUPR Office asked for a fee of 6 percent of the project value.
However, the contractor only agreed to 4 percent or around Rp200 million. In addition, investigators found other allegations of gratification received by Maidi in the period 2019 to 2022 from a number of parties with a total value of Rp1.1 billion.
