JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the findings of money and documents at the house of the Chairman of the West Java PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) DPD Ono Surono from his wife, Setyowati Anggraini Saputro.
He was questioned at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Tuesday, April 7. Setyowati was examined in her capacity as a witness to the bribery case for project permits that ensnared the non-active Regent of Bekasi Ade Kuswara.
"The witness in question was confirmed in relation to the findings of investigators in the series of raids, both at the ONS's brother's house in the Bandung area and in Indramayu," KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told reporters, Wednesday, April 8.
Meanwhile, regarding the request for the return of evidence, said Budi, it depends on the needs of investigators. But, the money and documents are certainly needed in the ongoing investigation of alleged bribery.
"The evidence that has been secured and seized by the investigators is certainly needed in the process of proving the investigation of this case," 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 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.
