KPK Investigates Hercules, Delving into Chronology of Summarecon's Funds for HGB Processing

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the testimony of Hercules Rosario Marcal, the Chairman of the Central Leadership Council of the New Indonesian People's Movement (GRIB), regarding the chronology of how PT Summarecon Tbk prepared funds for various parties in the process of obtaining Building Use Rights (HGB).

“HCL (Hercules) is helping investigators fully unveil the chronology of events, including how PT SMC prepared various funds for alleged bribes to certain individuals at the ATR/BPN as well as other funds, one of which was given to brother HCL,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo at the Red and White Building in Jakarta on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

This matter was examined by KPK during Hercules’s questioning as a witness in the alleged bribery case relating to HGB processing at the Ministry of ATR/BPN.

Previously, the Chairman of the Central Leadership Council of GRIB, Hercules Rosario Marcal, revealed the details of the questions posed by KPK investigators to him.

Hercules was questioned by the KPK today as a witness regarding the alleged bribery in the HGB processing at the Ministry of ATR/BPN and PT Summarecon Tbk.

He stated that he had provided information to investigators about the 800 million rupiah payment made by a lawyer from PT Summarecon to him to facilitate mediation in a land dispute covering 65 hectares in Bogor Regency.

“They (PT Summarecon Tbk) asked me to assist in mediating the discussions between the legal team of GRIB and the experts’ heirs to find the best solution. The essence of this resolution was for peace and, ultimately, the purpose of the 800 million rupiah was to facilitate that,” Hercules explained at the KPK Red and White Building in Jakarta on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

Hercules criticized PT Summarecon Tbk for engaging in unethical practices in obtaining HGB certificates not only in Bogor Regency but also in other regions.

“It’s not just in Bogor, in Kelapa Gading, in Tangerang, in Yogyakarta, in East Java, in Manado, everywhere Summarecon operates, they constantly commit these offenses regarding certificates being tampered with,” he stated.

He remarked that he had warned officials at ATR/BPN to be cautious in processing HGB certificates.

Hercules mentioned that he had contacted the Director General of Land Control and Spatial Planning (PPTR), Lampri, advising caution in blocking land titles, shortly before a KPK sting operation occurred.

“I immediately called the Director General of ATR, Mr. Lampri. I put him on speaker and warned him, be careful, this certificate of ownership is being changed to HGB. Be careful, there are legal issues, and you all could get arrested. Not long after that, the sting operation happened,” he said.
