Document Leak Case in HGB Allegedly Exposed, Fahd Arafiq Confirms Examination by Supervisory Board, Mentions KPK's Dirlid

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Fahd El Fouz, a trusted associate of Minister of ATR/BPN Nusron Wahid, has admitted to being questioned as a witness regarding the suspected leak of documents in the bribery case concerning the processing of Building Use Rights (HGB) at the ATR/BPN Ministry.

“Since I was interrogated by the Supervisory Board, I was immediately stopped from receiving treatment because I exposed the investigators who were examined by the Board, coordinated by Arif (Arif Sugianto, another suspect), who reportedly is involved in this case at the KPK,” Fahd said at the Merah Putih Building in Jakarta on Tuesday night (10/11/2026).

Fahd noted that during his interrogation at the KPK Supervisory Board, he was asked about KPK's Director of Investigation (Dirlid) Tessa Mahardika and KPK employee Ambar Fathona.

He also claimed to have previously met Ambar at Arif Sugiyanto's home, which was referred to as the “KPK Posko.”

He stated that he initially knew Arif as a KPK investigator, not as the Regent of Kebumen.

“I only met Ambar Fathona at Arif's house, which was said to be the KPK's post. I knew Arif was a KPK investigator; I never knew he was the Regent of Kebumen. I only found that out here; he claimed to me that he was a KPK investigator,” he explained.

Fahd also recounted an incident where he was extorted by Arif, who was posing as a KPK investigator, particularly regarding his sibling's case, Fadia Arafiq, the inactive Regent of Pekalongan.

“I was eventually asked for consultation fees. Rp 3 billion; otherwise, my sibling would be burdened with various accusations,” he recounted.

In light of this, Fahd urged the KPK Supervisory Board to reveal Arif's role and the involvement of KPK employees in the alleged document leak.

“The Supervisory Board should make a decision. Suspend the person involved,” he stressed.

Previously, the KPK confirmed that it is examining its internal employees concerning the suspected document leak in the processing of the bribery case related to Building Use Rights (HGB) at the ATR/BPN Ministry.

“The internal examination, both by the Inspectorate and the Supervisory Board, is still ongoing,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo when contacted by reporters on Friday (6/11/2026).

Budi stated that the examination is part of a testing and oversight process to ensure that the check-and-balance functions are operating effectively.

“So that the implementation of corruption eradication tasks not only conforms to legal regulations but is also conducted according to disciplinary standards and the code of ethics and behavior of commission personnel,” he added.

On the other hand, Budi assured that the handling of corruption allegations within the ATR/BPN Ministry continues to progress well.

“Investigators are still working to complete the necessary additional evidence,” he stated.
