KPK to Call Ono Surono After Searching His House in Bandung and Indramayu

West Java PDIP DPD Chairman Ono Surono (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the summons against the Chairman of the West Java PDIP DPD Ono Surono could be carried out. Moreover, investigators have searched the two houses of the Deputy Chairman of the West Java Provincial DPRD.

"It is possible that later on the scheduling of the examination will be carried out for ONS, yes," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters quoted on Tuesday, April 7.

This summons, continued Budi, is aimed at confirming the findings obtained during the search.

From Ono's house in the Bandung City area, investigators seized documents and hundreds of millions of rupiah in money allegedly related to the alleged bribery of the ijon project.

Meanwhile, from Ono's house in Indramayu, West Java, investigators seized documents and electronic evidence.

As previously reported, the KPK suspected that Ono Surono as Deputy Chairman of the West Java Provincial DPRD received money from Sarjan who had 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.

It is known that the KPK has 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. 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.
