Questioned by the KPK, Hercules Explains Rp 800 Million from Summarecon for Land Dispute Mediation

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Chairman of the Central Leadership Council of the New Indonesian People's Movement (GRIB), Jaya Hercules Rosario Marcal (HRM), revealed the topics discussed during his questioning by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

Today, Hercules was examined by the KPK as a witness regarding the alleged bribery related to the processing of Building Use Rights (HGB) at the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Bureau of Land Affairs (ATR/BPN) and PT Summarecon Tbk.

He stated that he provided testimony to the investigators regarding the payment of Rp 800 million from a lawyer representing PT Summarecon, which was intended for him to help mediate a land dispute over 65 hectares in Bogor Regency.

“They (PT Summarecon Tbk) asked me to help mediate between the GRIB legal team and the heirs’ legal team to find the best solution. And that solution was the peace agreement, which they likely wanted to resolve. Thus, the essence of the Rp 800 million that I returned was for that purpose,” Hercules said at the KPK's Red and White Building in Jakarta on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

Hercules criticized PT Summarecon Tbk for engaging in dishonest practices in the handling of HGB certificates not only in Bogor Regency but also in other areas.

“This is not just happening in Bogor; it's also in Kelapa Gading, in Tangerang, in Jogja, in East Java, in Manado—Summarecon is always doing these crimes to certify properties that have been compromised,” he stated.

Hercules mentioned that he has warned officials at ATR/BPN to exercise caution in processing HGB certificates.

He admitted to having contacted the Director General of Land and Space Control (PPTR), Lampri, urging him to be careful in land blocking, but shortly thereafter, an arrest operation (OTT) by the KPK took place.

“I also called the Director General of ATR, Mr. Lampri. And I spoke openly with him, being careful that this property certificate could be converted into HGB. This is a warning, you all might face legal issues and get arrested. Not long after, the OTT happened,” he stated.

Previously, GRIB JAYA Chairman Hercules Rosario Marcal (HRM) arrived at the KPK’s Red and White Building on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

According to Kompas.com observations, Hercules arrived at the Red and White Building at 10:22 AM WIB.

He arrived with dozens of people in black cars.

Hercules stated that he would provide information regarding land issues involving PT Summarecon Tbk and several officials who were arrested in the ongoing KPK case.

“We will provide information regarding the land issues of Summarecon and regarding the officials arrested by the Director General of ATR and Summarecon officials as well,” Hercules told reporters.

Hercules confirmed that he would clarify to the KPK about the funds he had returned.
