KPK Breaks Seizure Record with Massive Cash Haul During Land Permit Sting

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has broken a seizure record during a sting operation (OTT) involving bribery related to the processing of Building Use Rights (HGB) for Summarecon land in Bogor Regency, West Java. The KPK seized Rp 106.3 billion, the largest amount ever recorded during a KPK sting operation.

“In this series of sting operations, the KPK team has also secured several pieces of evidence collected during field activities, ranging from electronic evidence to cash, which currently totals approximately Rp 106.3 billion,” said the Acting Director of Investigation at the KPK, Achmad Taufik Husein, as reported on Wednesday (16/09/2026).

“This is the largest amount among all sting operations previously conducted by the KPK,” he added.

For context, while the KPK has handled much larger corruption cases—such as the e-KTP scandal with losses of Rp 2.3 trillion and the LPEI case with losses of Rp 11.7 trillion—this specific cash seizure is the largest in the history of the agency’s sting operations.

Taufik noted that the KPK previously seized approximately Rp 45 billion during a sting operation involving Customs officials from the Ministry of Finance. He stated that the amount seized in this HGB permit case is significantly higher.

“The last significant sting at the Customs office reached a total of Rp 45 billion in cash evidence. This current amount is even larger,” he said.

The hundreds of billions in cash evidence were presented during a press conference at the KPK building in Jakarta. The funds were recovered by investigators from several suspects.

The money, found in various suitcases and cardboard boxes, consisted of Indonesian Rupiah, US Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Saudi Riyals, and Malaysian Ringgit.

The breakdown of the cash seized by the KPK is as follows:

1. Rp 31.86 billion
