Find Minister Of Rea In LCC Shopping Land Corruption, NTB Prosecutor's Office Involves BPKP

NTB - The West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) found an unlawful act in investigating the alleged corruption case of assets in the form of land that is the location for the construction of the Lombok City Center (LCC) shopping center.

"Anyway, if there is a mistake, there is a mens rea, there is an act against the law, there is a state loss, we will continue. However, otherwise, don't be pressured. There are many cases that we are currently handling," said Assistant for Special Crimes at the NTB Attorney General's Office, Ely Rahmawati in Mataram, NTB, Monday 6 November, confiscated by Antara.

NTB Prosecutor's Office investigator Hasan Baseri added that evidence of unlawful acts in this case needed strengthening.

For this reason, the prosecutor's office is currently coordinating with the auditor agency, in this case the NTB Representative Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

"With this PMH (against the law), is there a state loss, this is what we bring to BPKP," said Hasan.

In investigating this case, the prosecutor's office has asked for information from a number of former officials who are aware of the cooperation contract in the management of assets belonging to the West Lombok Regency Government (Pemkab).

The parties who had attended the prosecutor included former West Lombok Regent Zaini Arony and former West Lombok BPKAD Head Burhanuddin.

The request for information against the two former officials took place on Friday, November 3. Zaini admitted that he regretted the fate of the now abandoned asset.

With this case, he hopes that the land on which there is a former magnificent shopping center building can be reused and become one of the sources of regional income.

The LCC asset case has previously advanced to the court table based on the results of the NTB Prosecutor's Office investigation. In this case, there were two officials from the West Lombok Regional Public Company (Perusda), namely PT Patuh Patju (Tripat) who were dragged into the crime.

Both are former Director of PT Tripat Lalu Azril Sopandi and former Finance Manager of PT Tripat Abdurrazak.

For Azril Sopandi, the judge sentenced him to 5 years in prison with a fine of Rp. 200 million, subsidiary to four months in prison and charged him to pay compensation of Rp.891 million, subsidiary to two years in prison.

Meanwhile, the sentence for Abdurrazak to four years in prison is a fine of Rp. 200 million, subsidiary to four months in prison. Abdurrazak was also charged with paying compensation of Rp. 235 million, a subsidiary of one year in prison.

Based on the criminal verdict handed down, the two were found guilty of committing corruption together, causing state losses.

In considering the verdict, the Panel of Judges at the Mataram District Court (PN) outlined the process of investment in capital and changing buildings built in 2014.

When Azril Sopandi still held the position of Director of PT Tripat, the regional company received capital participation from the West Lombok Regional Government in the form of strategic land on Jalan Raya Mataram-Sikur, Gerimak Village, Narmada District covering an area of 8.4 hectares.

The land then became PT Tripat's capital to build cooperation in the management of LCC in this case, private parties from PT Bliss.

4.8 hectares of land from a total of 8.4 hectares, then used as collateral by PTbaniss. From this collateral, PTbanis in 2013 received a loan of Rp264 billion from Bank Sinar Mas.

Dalam proses perjanjian kerja sama antara PT Tripat dengan PTbanis, muncul keterlibatan mantan Bupati Lombok Barat Zaini Arony, yang turut serta membuatkan tandasan perjanjian.
