- Penyidik KPK menyisir tiga kediaman di Kota Madiun, termasuk rumah Wali Kota nonaktif Maidi dan anaknya, guna mengumpulkan bukti kasus gratifikasi dan pencucian uang.
- Langkah ini memperluas perkara yang sebelumnya menjerat Maidi dengan tuntutan 7 tahun 2 bulan penjara dan uang pengganti Rp8 miliar lebih.
- Fokus penyidikan kini mengarah pada penelusuran konversi aset dan pemulihan kerugian negara, dengan tersangka yang belum ditetapkan secara resmi.
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) raided three homes in Madiun City on Tuesday (29/9) night, including the residence of suspended Mayor Maidi and the home of his son, Hendra. The raids are part of an investigation into alleged gratification and money laundering (TPPU) that is being developed.
KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said that in addition to Maidi's and Hendra's homes, investigators also searched the house of a district head (camat) in Madiun City. "Today investigators conducted raids at three home locations as part of the development of the investigation into the case in Madiun City," Budi said at the Merah Putih Building, Jakarta.
According to Budi, the raids aim to complete evidence and trace the flow of money suspected to originate from corruption. Investigators are also tracing asset conversions that may have been carried out by the suspects, as part of asset recovery efforts.
The case is a development of the alleged extortion and gratification case that ensnared Maidi. Previously, Maidi was sentenced to 7 years 2 months in prison and more than Rp8 billion in restitution. KPK prosecutors argued Maidi was proven to have violated Article 12 letter e and Article 12B of the Corruption Law related to licensing in his area.
"The raids are part of coercive measures at the investigation stage to complete the evidence needed by investigators, including tracing the conversion of assets allegedly carried out by the suspects," Budi Prasetyo explained.
In this investigation, KPK has examined a number of witnesses, including Wawan Edy Susetyo (private sector), Tri Handoko (private employee), Tutik Sariwati (housewife), Siti Ulfah Syah alias Ulfa Mumtazah (owner of Butik Ulfa Mumtaza), and Agung Triwinarto (private sector). The witness examinations are part of efforts to build a complete case construction.
The use of a general Sprindik indicates that KPK has not formally named a suspect. Investigators are still gathering evidence before naming the parties responsible. This practice is common in complex cases, especially those involving alleged TPPU, because it requires tracing fund flows across multiple parties.
From a corruption-eradication perspective, KPK's move to target the family circle and local officials shows an effort to broaden the scope of the investigation. The Maidi case has drawn attention because it ensnares a sitting regional head, though he is now suspended. The public is waiting to see whether the investigation will uncover a wider network or stop at certain individuals.
For Madiun residents and the Indonesian public in general, the development of this case is a test of the commitment to law enforcement in the regions. As KPK moves quickly to raid and examine witnesses, expectations for transparency and accountability rise. Moreover, similar cases often drag on without clarity.
Going forward, attention will focus on whether KPK can prove the alleged TPPU and seize assets suspected to be proceeds of corruption. If successful, this could be an important precedent in recovering state losses. However, if the investigation stalls, public trust in corruption eradication efforts could again be questioned.
