JAKARTA, thekabarnews.com – Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named eight suspects in an alleged bribery and gratification scheme involving right-to-build (HGB) permits in Bogor regency. The site is located in West Java.
The suspects include Lampri, the Agrarian and Spatial Planning Ministry/National Land Agency’s director general for land and spatial control and enforcement. In addition, Sontang Coin Manurung, head of the Bogor I Land Office, was named as well.
KPK investigators also named PT Summarecon Agung President Director Adrianto Pitojo Adi as a suspect. The remaining suspects are private individuals Arif Sugiyanto, Fahd El Fouz (Fahd A Rafiq), Rizal Pahlevi, Erwin and Muhammad Fakhry.
“After investigators found sufficient evidence, the KPK named eight people as suspects,” acting KPK investigation director Achmad Taufik Husein said at a news conference in Jakarta on Tuesday, September 15.
Investigators detained all eight for an initial 20-day period from September 15 to October 4 at the KPK’s detention facility in Jakarta.
The KPK alleges the case involved efforts to lift a block on Summarecon’s land certificates. Furthermore, it involved dividing HGB certificates connected to land in Bogor. That part of the land remained subject to disputes with former owners or their heirs.
According to the KPK’s preliminary case outline, intermediaries Yaser Alfarisi and Rizal approached Erwin to help communicate with Sontang.
Investigators allege that Sontang, through Erwin, requested a fee using the code word “two,” which they believe referred to Rp2 billion.
The parties allegedly agreed on Rp1.5 billion. Investigators said Adrianto transferred the money through Yaser and Rizal on August 27. Afterward, Erwin allegedly delivered Rp200 million to Sontang at a café in South Jakarta.
“On August 27, 2026, ADR, as Summarecon President Director, allegedly handed Rp1.5 billion to ERW through YA and LEV,” Taufik said.
“ERW then delivered Rp200 million to SON at a café in South Jakarta as a fee for lifting the block and splitting Summarecon’s HGB certificates.”
The inquiry also covers suspected payments connected to other land services. The KPK alleges that PT Bela Parahyangan paid Erwin Rp2.1 billion, of which Rp1.8 billion went to Arif.
Investigators are also examining an alleged Rp8 billion receipt involving Lampri and Arif. They are additionally reviewing a Rp10 billion cash deposit recorded in Arif’s account on September 7. Investigators suspect the scheme extended beyond the Summarecon certificates.
The KPK valued the cash and foreign currencies seized during the wider operation at approximately Rp106.3 billion.
However, investigators are still tracing the money’s origins, intended recipients and possible links to separate land-service transactions. The evidence included money recovered from several locations.
The KPK described Arif, Fahd, Erwin and Fakhry as suspected associates of Agrarian and Spatial Planning Minister Nusron Wahid.
Nusron was not among the eight suspects. The KPK had not announced evidence that he received any of the alleged payments when this article was prepared.
The allegations have not been tested in court. Under the presumption of innocence, the suspects retain the right to challenge the evidence. They can also present their defenses during judicial proceedings.
