ATR/BPN Office Operates Normally Amid KPK Search
Activities at the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) continued as normal today, Thursday (17/9), despite the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searching several rooms. The search is related to allegations of bribery concerning the processing of Building Use Rights (HGB) for PT Summarecon.
Observations in Jakarta on Thursday showed that operations at the ATR/BPN Ministry office remained undisturbed, even as KPK investigators searched premises within the Directorate General of Land and Spatial Control and Order. Numerous employees were seen performing their duties as usual, with individuals moving in and out of the building without specific restrictions. Vehicles also continued to pass freely through the building’s lobby area.
Internal security personnel remained at the entrance of the office being inspected by the KPK team. As of Thursday afternoon, journalists gathered in the lobby area to monitor the situation and await updates regarding the ongoing investigation.
As of 3:20 PM WIB, KPK investigators had not yet been seen exiting the building. Previously, the KPK announced that it was searching several rooms within the Ministry of ATR/BPN.
“Today, Thursday (17/9), investigators began search activities. The searches are being conducted at several locations within the ATR/BPN Ministry environment,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists in Jakarta.
Budi stated that one of the searched locations was the office of the Director General of Land and Spatial Control and Order at the Ministry of ATR/BPN. “The activity is still ongoing. We will continue to provide updates as a form of transparency in the KPK’s legal process,” he added.
He further explained that the searches were conducted to gather and complete evidence for the investigation into alleged bribery within the Ministry of ATR/BPN. “The searches are required by investigators to find and complete evidence in the investigation of a case that originated from a sting operation (OTT),” he said.
It is known that the KPK conducted a sting operation in the Jabodetabek area on 14 September 2026. The operation is linked to alleged corruption in the processing of Building Use Rights (HGB) for PT Summarecon Agung Tbk in Bogor Regency, West Java.
A day later, the KPK named eight individuals as suspects in the alleged bribery case within the Ministry of ATR/BPN. The suspects include the Director General of Land and Spatial Control and Order at the Ministry of ATR/BPN, Lampri; the Head of the Bogor Regency Land Office I, Sontang Coin Manurung; the President Director of PT Summarecon Agung Tbk, Adrianto Pitojo Adhi; and Rizal Pahlevi, acting as a private party or intermediary for Summarecon.
Other suspects include the former Regent of Kebumen, Arif Sugiyanto; the Chairman of the Golkar Party DPP, Fahd El Fouz (also known as Fahd Arafiq); and private individuals named Erwin and Muhammad Fakhry. The latter four are alleged to be trusted associates of the Minister of ATR/BPN, Nusron Wahid.
