Jakarta, VIVA – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has detained several individuals in a sting operation (OTT) related to alleged bribery over the processing of building use rights (HGB) in Bogor Regency, West Java.

One of those secured during the operation was Fahd A Rafiq, General Chairman of Barisan Pemuda Nusantara (BAPERA).

BAPERA stated that it fully respects the legal process being carried out by the KPK and has entrusted the examination process to law enforcement officials.

BAPERA Deputy General Chairman Henry Indraguna called on all parties to give the KPK space to carry out its duties professionally.

“We are giving the KPK room to work professionally, objectively, transparently and in accordance with the prevailing laws and regulations,” he said, quoted on Wednesday, 16 September 2026.

His party also affirmed that it would not draw any conclusions on whether Fahd or any other party was guilty.

“If there is indeed evidence and the elements of a criminal offence are fulfilled, then of course we respect the legal process,” he said.

Henry viewed corruption eradication as remaining an important part of law enforcement. He then urged all cadres and members of the organisation to remain calm and refrain from making speculative statements while the legal process is under way.

“I call on all cadres to remain calm, maintain the organisation’s solidarity, respect the legal process and not pass judgement on anyone. Let us wait for the KPK’s official statement,” he said.

In the alleged HGB bribery case in Bogor Regency, the KPK has named eight suspects.

They are Lampri (LMP), Director-General of Land and Spatial Control at the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning (ATR/BPN); Sontang Coin Manurung (SON), Head of the Bogor Regency I Land Office; and Summarecon President Director Adrianto Pitojo Adi (ADR).

The five other suspects are Fahd El Fouz (FEZ), Arif Sugiyanto (ARF), Rizal Pahlevi (LEV), Erwin (ERW) and Muhammad Fakhry (MF).

The KPK described Fahd, Arif, Erwin and Muhammad Fakhry as private individuals who are allegedly trusted associates of Nusron Wahid.

The suspects were detained for the first 20 days, effective from 15 September to 4 October 2026, at the KPK’s Red-and-White Building Branch Detention House.

In this case, ADR and LEV, as the alleged bribe-givers, are suspected of violating Article 605 Paragraph (1) letter a/b or Article 606 Paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Law No. 1/2026 in conjunction with Article 20 of the Criminal Code.
