The KPK has seized a number of items of evidence during its sting operation (OTT) related to a bribery case concerning building use rights at the National Land Agency (BPN) office in Bogor Regency. The KPK seized cash worth Rp 106.3 billion in the case.

“As part of this sting operation, the KPK team also secured a number of items of evidence obtained in the field, ranging from electronic evidence to cash, which will shortly be shown to you all, with a total value of approximately Rp 106.3 billion,” said Acting Director of KPK Investigations Achmad Taufik Husein at a press conference in Jakarta on Tuesday (15/9/2026).

Taufik said the cash seized in this HGB bribery case carried the highest value to date, surpassing amounts recovered in previous KPK sting operations.

“This is among the largest amounts from any sting operation the KPK has previously carried out. The last one with a significant amount was the sting operation at the Customs and Excise office, which reached a total of Rp 45 billion in cash evidence. This one turns out to be even larger,” he said.

Taufik said the KPK seized various denominations of rupiah and foreign currency from the home of Arif Sugiyanto (ARF), the former Regent of Kebumen. According to the explanation, Arif Sugiyanto is one of the trusted associates of ATR/BPN Minister Nusron Wahid.

“The cash found was at the home of ARF, in several red suitcases, in rupiah denominations as well as foreign currency. Broken down, there was Rp 31.86 billion in rupiah, and USD 2,611,500 in American dollars,” said Taufik.

“Then there was SGD 1,974,500. There was also SAR 910 in Saudi riyals, and finally RM 981 in Malaysian ringgit,” he added.

The KPK also seized cash from the homes of private individual Rizal Pahlevi (LEV), Zimamun Ni’am Aulawi as Head of the Land Rights Determination and Registration Section at Bogor Regency Land Office I, and Sontang Coin Manurung as Head of Bogor Regency Land Office I. The details are as follows:

  • Cash at the home of LEV: Rp 896 million

  • Cash at the home of ZNM: Rp 8 million

  • Cash at the home of SON: Rp 49.5 million

The KPK has also named eight suspects in the bribery case concerning the processing of building use rights (HGB) in Bogor Regency. The list is as follows:

  1. Lampri (LMP), Director General of Land and Spatial Control at the ATR/BPN Ministry

  2. Sontang Coin Manurung (SON), Head of Bogor Regency Land Office
