KPK Seizes Rp 800 Million

The KPK seized Rp 800 million in cash from the legal representative of the Chairman of the Central Leadership Council of the New Indonesian People's Movement (GRIB), Jaya Hercules Rosario Marcal (HRM), in relation to the alleged corruption case within the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Bureau of Land Affairs (ATR/BPN).

“Today, Thursday (15/10), investigators seized evidence in the form of cash amounting to Rp 800 million from NMB (Hercules’s legal representative),” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in a statement on Thursday (15/10/2026).

Budi stated that the money was handed over by Hercules's legal representative to the investigators at the Red and White Building in Jakarta.

He explained that the funds were allegedly received by Hercules from PT SMC, relating to land management in the Bogor area.

“The request from PT SMC to lift the block and manage its HGB is suspected to involve corrupt practices, specifically bribery to certain individuals within the ATR BPN ministry,” he added.

Budi noted that the surrender of the money demonstrates a cooperative stance and support for the legal enforcement process aimed at revealing the full structure of this case.

“We express our appreciation and thanks to everyone who continues to support anticorruption efforts made by the KPK,” he said.
