JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seized a number of evidence suspected to be related to the bribery case of the ijon project in the Bekasi Regency Government when searching the house of the Chairman of the PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) DPD Ono Surono on Wednesday, April 1. Among them there was money hundreds of millions of rupiah.

"In this search, investigators secured and seized a number of documents, electronic evidence, and cash worth hundreds of millions of rupiah found in the ONS room," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his written statement, Thursday, April 2.

The KPK ensured that the search was carried out in accordance with the rules. Investigators, continued Budi, also did not remove surveillance cameras or CCTV at the house.

Instead of being revoked by investigators, Budi said Ono's family did the deed. "All the search series have been carried out based on Article 34 of Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning Criminal Procedure Law which has been amended in accordance with Article 113 paragraph 4 of Law Number 20 of 2025 concerning the Code of Criminal Procedure," said Budi.

"Regarding CCTV, investigators did not remove or turn it off. CCTV was turned off by the family, and investigators only checked the CCTV. After checking the CCTV, the investigator also did not confiscate the CCTV."

The KPK suspects that the Chairman of the West Java PDIP DPD received money from Sarjan who is a suspect in this case. This suspicion was conveyed after Ono was examined as a witness on Thursday, January 15.

The KPK has not detailed the amount of money 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.
