KPK Reveals Latest Developments in ATR/BPN Corruption Case
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia — The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has provided an update on an alleged corruption case involving officials at the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), which has also drawn in ATR/BPN Minister Nusron Wahid.
KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the investigation was continuing. Investigators were analysing information provided by Nusron Wahid (NW) after he failed to attend two previous summonses.
“Regarding developments in the ATR/BPN case, investigators are continuing to analyse the confirmation or information provided by Mr NW concerning his absence from the two previous summonses. The analysis will determine what steps investigators take next,” Budi told reporters at the KPK building in Jakarta on Monday (2 November 2026).
In response to reports that Nusron Wahid might travel abroad, specifically to Japan, the KPK urged him to prioritise the ongoing legal process.
“Regarding the information that Mr NW will travel abroad again, the KPK would like to urge him to prioritise the legal processes under way at the KPK. A witness’s attendance during an investigation, and the provision of the information needed, will greatly assist investigators in uncovering the case,” Budi said.
Nusron Wahid has been asked to appear as a witness to provide information that could help establish the precise chronology of the alleged case.
“In principle, information from suspects, witnesses and related parties is used to cross-check and complement other accounts. This helps ensure that the investigation is comprehensive, establishing the chronology and the structure of the case, including whether other parties may have played a significant role beyond those already named as suspects,” Budi explained.
Budi could not confirm when Wahid would be summoned again, but said an update would be provided as soon as possible.
“We will update you when a new summons for Mr NW has been issued, and, of course, we always communicate openly about all legal processes under way at the KPK,” he said.
The KPK has named eight suspects in the case: Sontang Coin Manurung (SON), head of the Bogor Regency Land Office; Golkar politician and alleged confidant of the ATR/BPN minister Fadh El Fouz (FEZ); PT Summarecon Agung Tbk president director Adrianto Pitoyo Adhi (ADR); private individuals Arif Sugianto (ARF), Muhammad Fakhry (MF) and Erwin (ERW), described as alleged confidants of the minister; private individual Rizal Pahlefi (LEV); and Lampri (LMP), director general for land and spatial planning control and enforcement at the ATR/BPN Ministry.
The KPK also secured evidence including electronic devices and cash worth approximately Rp106.3 billion in Indonesian rupiah, US dollars, Singapore dollars, Saudi riyals and Malaysian ringgit.
On Monday, 14 September 2026, the KPK detained 19 people in the Greater Jakarta area and brought them to its Red and White Building for questioning. Eight were subsequently named as suspects.
