The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has completed its case review of the sting operation (OTT) at the National Land Agency (BPN) office in Bogor Regency. According to the KPK, the case has now been elevated to the investigation stage.

“The KPK has conducted a case review at the leadership level, and it has been decided that this case will proceed to the investigation stage,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters on Tuesday (15/9/2026).

Budi did not elaborate on whether any suspects have yet been named in the case.

It is understood that the KPK carried out a sting operation at the BPN office in Bogor Regency. More than a dozen people were arrested in connection with alleged bribery surrounding the processing of building use rights (HGB).

The sting operation was conducted on Monday evening (14/9). KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said a total of 17 people had been secured by KPK investigators.

“In this operation, the team secured a total of 17 people. Among them are a director-general from the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning (ATR/BPN), the head of the Bogor Regency land office, the head of the Tangerang land office, and several other parties,” Budi said at the KPK’s Merah Putih building in South Jakarta on Monday (14/9).

Those detained range from officials to private individuals. They include Golkar politician Fahd El Fouz, also known as Fahd A Rafiq.

Budi said the sting operation related to bribery in the processing of building use rights (HGB) in Bogor Regency. The KPK also suspects other payments may have been made by the parties involved.

“This operation is alleged to be connected to the processing of HGB, or building use rights, in the Bogor Regency area, and related to alleged additional payments,” Budi said.

During the operation, KPK investigators also seized dozens of boxes and suitcases filled with cash. In addition to rupiah, foreign currencies were also secured by the KPK team.

“During this confidential inquiry, the team also secured evidence in the form of cash, namely rupiah and foreign currencies, packed and packaged in boxes, cartons or suitcases, amounting to around 20 suitcases,” Budi explained.

Budi has not disclosed the exact value of the money seized. However, he estimated the total could reach hundreds of billions of rupiah.

“The counting process is still ongoing, and the estimated nominal value reaches hundreds of billions of rupiah,” he said.

Based on information gathered so far, three officials from the Ministry of ATR/BPN and heads of land offices in the Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) area were detained in the sting at the Bogor Regency BPN. The KPK also detained a senior executive from PT Summarecon Agung Tbk.
