Eight suspects in the Summarecon HGB bribery case

In this case, the KPK has named eight individuals as suspects following their arrest during a hand-catching operation (OTT) on Monday (14/9/2026).

They include the following:

1. Head of the Bogor District Land Office Sontang Coin Manurung

2. Golkar Party Politician Fahd El Fouz

3. CEO of PT Summarecon Agung Adrianto Pitoyo Adhi

4. Former Kebumen Regent Arif Sugianto

5. Director General of Land and Space Control and Regulation (PPTR) Lampri

6. Minister's confidant, Muhammad Fakhry

7. Minister's confidant, Erwin

8. Minister's confidant, Rizal Pahlefi.

Acting Director of Investigation at the KPK, Achmad Taufik Husein stated that this corruption case originated from requests for HGB extension or the conversion of HGB to SHM (Land Ownership Certificate) for land managed by Summarecon in Bogor District.

Taufik noted that some of the land was still problematic or in dispute with multiple heirs who previously held SHM for the disputed lands.

The landowners filed a lawsuit at the Bandung Administrative Court regarding the issuance of nine SHGB that Summarecon had issued, involving the Head of West Java ATR/BPN Regional Office and the Head of the Bogor Land Office, with the defendants being the Head of West Java and the Bogor Land Office.

"The Bogor Land Office then invited the heirs for mediation. The heirs then filed a blocking request on the Summarecon SHGB. On the other hand, the heirs withdrew the lawsuit at the Bandung Administrative Court," Taufik explained.

Subsequently, there was communication between Yaser Alfarisi, representing Summarecon, and Erwin, who is a confidant of the minister.

Yaser informed Erwin that the Bogor Land Office Head I Sontang Coin Manurung was unwilling to lift the block and split the HGB unless given guidance from his superiors.

Yaser and Riza Palevi, as intermediaries for Summarecon, asked Erwin to communicate with Sontang to lift the block and split the SHGB.

In early August 2026, Yaser and Rizal learned that they needed to pay a sum of money to lift the block and issue the land certificate.

“Sontang Coin through Erwin requested a fee coded as “two” alleged to be around Rp2 billion. However, Summarecon only agreed to provide Rp1.5 billion,” Taufik said.

Taufik mentioned that Summarecon suspected there were others who would receive a “broker fee” from the arrangement. Ultimately, Adrianto through Yaser and Erwin provided the Rp1.5 billion to Erwin.

“Subsequently, ERW (Erwin) handed over some of that money amounting to Rp200 million to Coin at a café in South Jakarta, as a fee for lifting the block and splitting the HGB on behalf of Summarecon,” Taufik explained.
