From initial information we received, the incident last night or whatever, involving individuals pretending to be KPK employees who can arrange cases, this is not the first time the person has done this,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo at the KPK building in Kuningan, South Jakarta, on Friday (10/4/2026). Regarding further information, we are still awaiting police examination after the four individuals were secured. This case is being handled by Metro Jaya Police. “So we will wait for the examination process there, what the results are like, we all respect it, we wait,” he said. Budi advised the public to report if they experience similar incidents, namely parties claiming to be from KPK and demanding money. Reports can be made to the police or directly to KPK. “Therefore, if the public knows of parties claiming they can handle cases at KPK, please report directly to KPK, via the KPK Call Center at 198, or report to local law enforcement,” he stated.
