Gadungan Employee Is Said by the KPK Not Only Once Admitting That He Can Handle the Case

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that four fake employees did not just once admit that they could handle the case. This act has been done several times.

This was conveyed by KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo when explaining the matter of the arrest of four KPK employees who were suspected of blackmailing Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia, Ahmad Sahroni.

"This is not the first time that the person concerned has done this, yes," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, April 10.

Even so, Budi did not want to detail who was extorted by the four people. The KPK is said to continue to wait for the Metro Jaya Police to work.

"This will certainly be a matter in the examination process at the Polda Metro Jaya," he said.

"So later we will wait for the examination process there, like what the results are, how we respect each other, we wait."

Meanwhile, Ahmad Sahroni said he was approached by a woman on behalf of the KPK leadership who asked for money as a form of support for the KPK.

"So chronologically, there was a mother who came to the DPR and asked to meet me. Then I met and he admitted that he was a representative of the KPK leadership and there he asked for money worth Rp. 300 million for the support of the KPK leadership," said Sahroni through his statement.

The head of the DPR legal commission then confirmed to the KPK leadership and denied the existence of the messenger. "I immediately checked with the KPK and the KPK denied that there was a messenger," he said.

After receiving information from Sahroni, the KPK then coordinated with the Metro Jaya Police, followed by an official report from the General Treasurer of the NasDem DPP.

"I then worked with the Metro Jaya Police and the KPK to arrest this person by giving the money at his house," he concluded.
