Police deploy 3,161 personnel to secure Hotel Sultan execution

Jakarta - Police have deployed 3,161 personnel to secure the execution of Block 15 GBK, the former Hotel Sultan, scheduled to take place today, Thursday. “For the security of the former Hotel Sultan execution, the number of security personnel is 3,161,” said Central Jakarta Metro Police Public Relations Section Head Iptu Erlyn Sumantri in a statement in Jakarta on Thursday. He stated that the figure comprises joint personnel from the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), the Indonesian National Police (Polri), and the regional government. Previously, the Gelora Bung Karno Complex Management Centre (PPKGBK) prepared 300 joint personnel ahead of the execution of Block 15 GBK, the former Hotel Sultan, scheduled for Thursday. Head of the Block 15 GBK Transition Team Hendry Arisandi, in a statement in Jakarta on Monday (15/6), mentioned that the joint personnel consisted of PPKGBK, the Ministry of State Secretariat, the legal counsel team, and the Public Appraisal Services Office (KJPP). Execution preparations were held in Jakarta on Monday (15/6). In addition to joint personnel, preparations also involved several related agencies to support technical smoothness, including Telkom and PLN. With these preparations, PPKGBK hopes the execution of Block 15 GBK, the former Hotel Sultan, can proceed smoothly, orderly, safely, and without causing losses to any party. As is known, the Central Jakarta District Court rejected the lawsuit of PT Indobuildco against the Minister of State Secretariat in casu quo (c.q.) PPKGBK regarding the management of Hotel Sultan. The verdict was delivered on 28 November 2025 via e-court. In civil case Number 208/Pdt.G/2025/PN.Jkt.Pst., the court concluded that the state (through Land Management Right Number 1/Gelora) is the legal owner. Consequently, the building use rights for Hotel Sultan have been abolished by law since 2023, the state’s actions are lawful, and Indobuildco is obliged to vacate the entire Hotel Sultan area, including land and buildings. The ruling is uitvoerbaar bij voorraad, meaning it can be executed immediately.
