Perpetrator Also Misuses KPK Leadership Name<\/p>\n

\u201cShe mentioned it in the name of KPK leadership. Because it was KPK\nleadership, I confirmed with KPK leadership, is this person really from\nKPK? Turns out not. So, I coordinated and clarified this with KPK,\nfinally KPK conveyed it to Polda Metro, and finally I reported the\nindividual to Polda Metro,\u201d said Sahroni.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/array-of-evidence-from-fake-kpk-employee-who-extorted-rp-300-million-from-sahroni-1775890253", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
