“This is a great lesson, as well as a great blow to Prabowo, like his great boss Edhy Prabowo, who happens to be foaming at the words that corruption in Indonesia is already at stage four. Indeed, Edhy Prabowo, his subordinate and originally trained by Prabowo himself, became the prime minister in the Jokowi era to be hit by a manual arrest operation by the KPK, “Arief said.
