Hello reader,

Two politicians from practically the same tier of regional leadership have been arrested for alleged corruption.

One, a regent named Sudewo, may sound familiar to those who follow political controversies in Indonesia. The other is a mayor named Maidi. Both have allegedly violated their oaths to the public.

Let’s dive right in.

Cheers,

Andra
