Fact Check: Article Claiming All Ministers Pay Corruption Proceeds to Jokowi Deemed Hoax

An article claiming that political commentator Nusron Wahid stated all ministers pay corruption proceeds to President Joko Widodo has been circulating on social media in Indonesia. Liputan6.com's fact-check team has concluded that this information is a hoax. The post, which began circulating on Facebook on September 20, 2026, featured a screenshot of an article from Gelora News with the headline: "Nusron Wahid: All Ministers Pay Corruption Proceeds to President, Except Gibran," accompanied by an extensive narrative. Liputan6.com's investigation confirmed the existence of an identical article on Gelora.co, published on September 17, 2026. However, the original article's actual headline was "Suspicion of an 'Upeti' Mafia in the Ministry of ATR/BPN." It did not contain any discussion of Nusron Wahid's alleged statement about ministers paying corruption proceeds to the President. Instead, the original article reported on statements made by political and public policy analyst Adib Miftahul regarding corruption cases within the Ministry of Agraria dan Tata Ruang/Badan Pertanahan Nasional (ATR/BPN). Therefore, the article falsely reporting Nusron Wahid's alleged statement about all ministers paying corruption proceeds to the president has been definitively identified as a hoax.
