JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the House of Representatives, Ahmad Sahroni, explained the chronology of the alleged extortion of Rp300 million by a fake member of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). He admitted that he was approached by a woman on behalf of the KPK leadership 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 an envoy from the head of the KPK and there he asked for money worth Rp. 300 million for the support of the head of the KPK," said Sahroni to reporters, Friday, April 10.

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.

"KPK then coordinated with the Metro Jaya Police, and after that I reported this case to the Metro Jaya Police," he said.

Sahroni asked the KPK and the Indonesian National Police to immediately arrest the perpetrator by returning the money he asked for.

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

It was reported that the Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Ahmad Sahroni, was allegedly a victim of extortion by a member of the fake Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). A sum of Rp. 300 million was said to have been handed over to the perpetrator who claimed to be able to handle the case.

The report related to this case was received by the Polda Metro Jaya on April 9, 2026 at around 22.00 WIB. The alleged report includes threats and extortion.

Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Budi Hermanto, said the perpetrator was suspected of representing the KPK Commission to convince the victim.

"The report is about threats and extortion allegedly as a person on behalf of one of the public institutions related to the handling of cases," Budi told reporters, Friday, April 10.

The victim then handed over Rp300 million to the perpetrator. After that, the case was reported to the police.
