Array of Evidence from Fake KPK Employee Who Extorted Rp 300 Million from Sahroni
A joint team from the Subdit Jatanras of Polda Metro Jaya, along with KPK investigators, arrested a woman with the initials TH alias D (48), suspected of extorting Ahmad Sahroni, Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the House of Representatives. Police stated that the perpetrator claimed to be a KPK employee.
“The perpetrator approached the victim in the Commission III room at the House of Representatives and claimed to be a KPK employee on orders from KPK leadership. The perpetrator then demanded Rp 300 million from the victim,” said the Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Budi Hermanto, in his statement on Saturday (11/4/2026).
Police seized a KPK stamp, eight sheets of KPK-headed summons letters, two mobile phones, and four different identity cards from the perpetrator. The perpetrator is charged under Article 492 of the Criminal Code for the crime of fraud.
The incident began when Sahroni was in the Commission III room at the House of Representatives building on Monday (6/4). The victim then handed over the money on Thursday (9/4).
“The individual is still undergoing further examination,” he said.
Four Fake KPK Employees Arrested
Previously, KPK and Polda Metro Jaya arrested four fake KPK employees suspected of extorting a House member of Rp 300 million. The House member allegedly extorted was Ahmad Sahroni, Deputy Chairman of Commission III.
“The joint team of KPK with Polda Metro Jaya Jakarta secured several individuals suspected of posing as KPK employees,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters on Friday (10/4).
The extortion occurred on Monday (6/4). Sahroni reported the case to the authorities.
The four perpetrators were arrested in the West Jakarta area on Thursday (9/4) night. Police coordinated with KPK to apprehend the perpetrators.
Perpetrator Claims to be Head of Enforcement Bureau
Sahroni explained the matter of being asked for money by fake KPK employees on Monday (6/4). Sahroni emphasised that the fake employee demanded hundreds of millions in the name of KPK leadership, not related to any case.
Sahroni recounted that the fake KPK employee came directly to the House of Representatives building. At that time, Sahroni, who was leading a meeting, was informed by his staff.
“The one posing as a KPK employee stated that the individual was the Head of the Enforcement Bureau who came to the House on Monday the 6th at 10:30 WIB. Came directly, from security entered the House until the Commission III waiting room,” said Sahroni on Friday (10/4).
“I was leading the meeting, I didn’t have an appointment with anyone. But because my staff conveyed it via WhatsApp, I left the meeting room, I approached that person,” he added.
Perpetrator Also Misuses KPK Leadership Name
The NasDem politician said the perpetrator misused the name of KPK leadership. He immediately contacted KPK for confirmation.
Sahroni, who was suspicious, immediately coordinated with KPK and concluded that the money demand was untrue. Sahroni then reported the extortion to the police, and the perpetrator was eventually arrested.
“She mentioned it in the name of KPK leadership. Because it was KPK leadership, I confirmed with KPK leadership, is this person really from KPK? Turns out not. So, I coordinated and clarified this with KPK, finally KPK conveyed it to Polda Metro, and finally I reported the individual to Polda Metro,” said Sahroni.
