JAKARTA - The lawyer for the Chairman of the West Java PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) DPD, Ono Surono, Sahali denied the statement of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) regarding the existence of a family party who deliberately turned off the surveillance camera or CCTV when his client's house was searched on Wednesday, April 1.
The statement of KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo was considered unreasonable by Sahali. Because, such an event should be monitored by CCTV.
"The explanation is illogical. The question is, what is the family's interest in turning off the CCTV, it is better that the CCTV remains alive in such a situation," said Sahali in a written statement, Thursday, April 2.
"It was the investigators who insisted on having the CCTV turned off," he continued.
Sahili said the request to turn off the CCTV was followed by intimidating actions against Ono Surono's wife who was present.
"There was a push-push action with a legal advisor who tried to protect Ono Surono's wife," he said.
Furthermore, the seizure of hundreds of millions of money from Ono's house in Bandung, West Java was also highlighted by Sahili. Because, the findings have nothing to do with the alleged bribery of the ijon project in the Bekasi Regency Government which is being investigated.
"Investigators insist on confiscating Rp50 million belonging to the family and 200 million belonging to many people who participated in the arisan from Ono Surono's wife. Although evidence of the arisan WA Group has been shown to investigators, that the arisan money belongs to many people, but it was not touched by the investigators," said the lawyer.
This condition then made Sahili accuse there was an attempt to build a negative perception by the KPK against his client.
"This search for us is just an effort to frame certain investigators against Kang Ono Surono so that they have to confiscate items that have nothing to do with it at all," he said.
As previously reported, the KPK suspected that Ono Surono as Deputy Chairman of the West Java Provincial DPRD received money from Sarjan who was a suspect in the ijon project bribery case that ensnared the non-active Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara. This suspicion was conveyed after Ono was questioned as a witness at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Thursday, January 15.
As for the ijon project bribe, the KPK appointed 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 a suspect in the alleged ijon project bribe case. This case began with 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.
