Yusril States Government Will Allow KPK to Interrogate Nusron Wahid

The Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Correctional Affairs, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, stated that the government respects the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) should it wish to conduct an interrogation of Nusron Wahid regarding an alleged bribery case within the Ministry of ATR/BPN. Although Nusron currently serves as the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning (ATR)/Head of the National Land Agency (BPN), Yusril emphasised that the KPK is an independent institution with the authority to examine anyone involved in corruption cases.

“In fact, far beyond the KPK, even internal government law enforcement agencies such as the Police and the Attorney General’s Office—we hold the same stance,” Yusril said during a press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday.

He noted that the KPK has the duty to gather as much data as possible when investigating corruption cases. If the data collected regarding the bribery case involving the Ministry of ATR/BPN is complete and there is a genuine need to interrogate Nusron, the Coordinating Minister stated that the KPK will ultimately decide and reach a conclusion independently.

Consequently, he leaves it to investigators and researchers to decide whether an individual should be interrogated, whether an investigation needs to be escalated to a full inquiry, or if an inquiry needs to be forwarded to the prosecution stage.

“We leave this entirely to the independence of the investigators in the law enforcement process,” he expressed.

Previously, Nusron admitted that he was unaware of the specifics regarding the alleged bribery case involving the Building Use Rights (HGB) of PT Summarecon Agung Tbk, which is currently being processed by the KPK.

“I do not know (the details of the Summarecon bribery case),” Nusron said when met in Jakarta on Friday (18/09/2026).

Nusron made this statement while responding to journalists’ questions regarding the substance of the alleged bribery case involving HGB rights that has implicated several parties within the Ministry of ATR/BPN. When further questioned about his recent absence following the emergence of the case, Nusron dismissed the notion, stating that he had not disappeared.

“How could we disappear like a genie?” Nusron remarked with a light laugh.
