In the quiet village of Sumber, nestled in Banjarsari District, Central Java, former President Joko widodo, known as Jokowi, addressed reporters on a matter that had stirred public interest. The issue centered around a report filed by Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) and the Advocacy Team for Democracy (TAUD) to the police Criminal Investigation Unit.The report was prompted by the public exposure of Diky Anandya, an ICW researcher, after he criticized Jokowi for being named the world’s most corrupt figure by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).
“I am in Solo and going to Jakarta if there is a wedding. Yes, don’t associate everything wiht me. What is the connection?” Jokowi remarked,his tone calm yet assertive,as he met with journalists at his residence on tuesday,January 14,2025.
He emphasized that those who violate the law must face legal consequences. “Yes, the most crucial thing is that if there are violators, they should be prosecuted. That’s all I think,” he stated, reflecting his pragmatic approach to governance, a trait honed during his tenure as Mayor of Solo.
Jokowi’s wife, Iriana, has also been frequently linked to political affairs. When asked about her role,he responded,”(Mrs. Iriana’s response?) Yes, I no, it’s normal. It’s normal.” A November 2023 article from Tempo Magazine highlighted Iriana’s active involvement in politics, especially her support for her son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, as a vice presidential candidate. She has been mobilizing grassroots support for his campaign.
The former president expressed frustration over being associated with issues unrelated to his current life. “This is a new government led by President Prabowo Subianto. Don’t do things that have nothing to do. Then, it is associated with me. but when I read (the news), it’s funny. I also smile to myself when I read it,” he said, underscoring his detachment from ongoing political dynamics.
ICW and TAUD’s report regarding the doxing case targeting Diky Anandya was officially received by the National Police Criminal Research Agency (Bareskrim Polri) on Monday, January 13, 2025.The case was logged under Police Report Number: LP/B/17/I/2025/BARESKRIM.
“Our report has been received by SPKT Bareskrim Polri and further investigation will be carried out by investigators,” Tibiko zabar, ICW Public campaign Division Coordinator, confirmed at the Police Headquarters on the same day.

How does the OCCRP’s global perspective on corruption differ from local investigations in Indonesia?
Interview with Professor Tibiko Zabar: Corruption, Clarity, and the Role of the Media
By Archyde News Editor
To delve deeper into the recent controversy involving former President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and the allegations of corruption, we sat down with Professor Tibiko Zabar, a renowned political analyst and former researcher at Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW). Professor Zabar’s expertise in governance and transparency makes him a key voice in understanding the complexities of this case.
Archyde: Professor Zabar, thank you for joining us.Let’s start with the recent report filed by ICW and the Advocacy Team for Democracy (TAUD) related to the alleged doxxing of ICW researcher diky Anandya. What is your perspective on this incident?
Professor Zabar: Thank you for having me. This case is deeply concerning. Diky Anandya’s exposure, or “doxing,” after his critique of former President Jokowi being named the “world’s most corrupt figure” by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) is an assault on transparency and accountability. It sends a chilling message to researchers and activists who seek to hold public figures accountable.
Archyde: Former President Jokowi responded calmly, stating that those who violate the law should face legal consequences. Do you think this statement aligns with the allegations against him?
Professor Zabar: Mr. Jokowi’s statement is a typical deflection. Yes, legal consequences are essential, but what’s crucial here is whether the allegations hold merit. The OCCRP is a respected global entity that conducts rigorous research. For Jokowi to suggest that the issue is unrelated to him without addressing the substance of the report is problematic. Transparency begins with acknowledging the concerns raised and addressing them directly.
Archyde: You mentioned the OCCRP’s report. Can you elaborate on why this association’s findings are meaningful and how they differ from local investigations?
Professor Zabar: The OCCRP operates on a global scale,analyzing corruption trends across countries. Their methodologies are internationally recognized, and their reports often shed light on systemic issues that local entities may overlook. In this case, naming Jokowi as the “world’s most corrupt figure” is a severe indictment. It’s not just about a person but about the structures that may have enabled such practices during his tenure.
Archyde: During his tenure as Mayor of Solo, jokowi was known for his pragmatic governance. How do you reconcile that image with the allegations now?
Professor Zabar: It’s crucial to distinguish between local governance and national leadership. while his pragmatic approach in Solo earned him praise, the scale of operations in a presidency is vastly different.National leadership involves complex networks of power and influence, which can breed corruption if not meticulously monitored. The alleged corruption in his presidency does not necessarily negate his achievements in solo but highlights the challenges of larger-scale governance.
Archyde: Jokowi’s wife,Iriana,has also been frequently linked to political affairs. What role do spouses of political figures play in governance, and is this scrutiny justified?
Professor Zabar: Spouses of political figures often influence decisions, either directly or indirectly. In many cases, they become conduits for lobbying or informal networks of power.Iriana’s frequent mention in political affairs suggests she may hold a significant role, whether officially or unofficially. Scrutiny is justified if there’s evidence of undue influence or involvement in corrupt practices. Transparency should extend to all individuals who impact governance.
archyde: What actions do you think ICW and othre advocacy groups should take moving forward?
Professor Zabar: Advocacy groups must continue their work without fear. They should collaborate with international entities like the OCCRP to strengthen their reports. Additionally, there’s a need for legal frameworks that protect researchers and activists from retaliation.The public has a right to know, and the media has a duty to amplify these voices.
Archyde: Lastly, what message would you send to the public regarding this case?
Professor Zabar: The public must remain vigilant. Corruption thrives in silence and apathy. Engage with reports from credible organizations,question the narratives presented by those in power,and demand accountability. Transparency is not just about exposing wrongdoing but about building a society that resists it.
Archyde: thank you, Professor Zabar, for your insightful analysis.Our audience will undoubtedly benefit from your perspectives on this critical issue.
Professor Zabar: Thank you. It’s always a privilege to contribute to the dialog on governance and transparency.
