What is circulating
“Madiun Mayor Maidi, arrested by the KPK, admitted delivering Rp800 million to Jokowi's home in Solo, where Jokowi keeps a bunker of cash and gold.”
Claimed by Social media users · social media
The facts
Maidi was caught in a KPK sting on 19 January 2026 over alleged extortion through project fees and CSR funds in the Madiun city government. The headline attributed to Gelora News does not exist on that site and was fabricated.
What is circulating
“Ponorogo Regent Sugiri Sancoko, arrested by the KPK, said Jokowi received a Rp280 billion fee in the case.”
Claimed by Facebook posts sharing a doctored headline · social media
The facts
Sugiri was arrested by the KPK on 7 November 2025 and named a suspect in a bribery case, but the screenshot of a news headline about Jokowi was manipulated; no such article exists on the cited site. Kompas rated it a hoax.
What is circulating
“President Prabowo swore in former Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) as chairman of the KPK.”
Claimed by Social media users · social media
The facts
The video spliced a 2016 clip of Ahok as Jakarta governor on the phone with photos of him, and showed no swearing-in. KPK leaders for 2024 to 2029 were appointed by Presidential Decree 161/P of 2024, and Ahok was not among them.
What is circulating
“President Prabowo has captured Harun Masiku, the former PDI-P politician wanted in a bribery case.”
Claimed by Social media users · social media
The facts
Harun Masiku, named a suspect by the KPK in 2020 over a bribe to secure a DPR seat, remained on the wanted list when the posts spread on 7 January 2025. The KPK was still questioning witnesses about his border crossings on 15 January 2025, and no credible outlet reported his arrest.
