The Mataram District Attorney (Kejari) in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) has named a land broker as a suspect in the West Lombok National Land Agency (BPN) corruption case related to the sale of chess land in Bagik Polak Village.

Head of the Mataram District Attorney's Office I Gde Made Pasek Swardhyana explained that the land broker with the initials MA is now an additional suspect in the case.

"So, investigators have again named one suspect with the initials MA with the role of a broker who acts to regulate the sale and transfer of land which is an asset of the West Lombok Regency Government," he said in Mataram, Monday, which was confiscated by Antara.

Dari hasil penyidikan, Made Pasek mengungkapkan bahwa tersangka MA menjalankan peran tersebut bekerja sama dengan Kepala Desa Bagik Polak yang sudah terlebih dahulu berstatus tersangka, inisial AAP.

Made Pasek explained that his party had also completed the case file for suspect AAP with BMF, a woman who is a former Head of the West Lombok BPN Dispute Control and Handling Section.

"The files of suspects AAP and BMF have been completed and are ready to be transferred to the court," he said.

For the delegation of the new suspect case with the initials MA, it is certain that it will follow after all the filing needs are completed.

In handling this case, the Prosecutor's Office has pocketed a state financial loss of Rp980 million. Losses arise from the results of an audit by the NTB Representative Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

"The value of the loss of Rp. 980 million is seen from the selling price of land (object of the case)," he said.

Other evidence in this case has been pocketed by the prosecutor from the examination of witnesses and searches at the West Lombok BPN office.

The land of Pecatu with an area of 3,757 square meters which was the object of this case was also confiscated by the prosecutor's office at the investigation stage.

"The land that we secure, later we will recover it for that, we return it to the local government," he said.

In this series of investigations, it was noted that the Mataram Kejari had received a pretrial lawsuit from the suspect BMF.

From the results of the trial which lasted briefly within seven days at the Mataram District Court, the suspect's lawsuit was rejected and a single judge stated that the determination and detention of the suspect was valid according to legal procedures.
