JAKARTA - The Criminal Investigation Unit (Satreskrim) of the Central Jakarta Metro Police arrested as many as 9 people from a land mafia syndicate in the Serang area, Banten.

Deputy Head of Central Jakarta Metro Police AKBP Setyo said the modus operandi of these syndicates was fraud by placing false information into authentic deeds or falsifying authentic deeds. The counterfeiting was assisted by several of his staff from the former sub-district head in the Serang area.

"The suspects are former Village Heads (Kades) and former Camats assisted by his staff along with staff from BPN," said AKBP Setyo to VOI, Wednesday, December 29.

According to Waka Polres, the incident occurred in 2014 in the deed of sale and purchase (AJB). The period of time for this crime is quite long while the person concerned is serving as the village head.

"The suspects made 36 deed of sale and purchase, which has been measured by measuring officials from BPN covering an area of 11,000 hectares and became 7 certificates," he said.

Waka Polres emphasized that this case became a problem because the complainant, after being given the 7 certificates, when he was going to check the location, it turned out that the registered land belonged to the villagers.

"The official who made the AJB certificate to the complainant always avoided showing the location of the land," he said.

As a result of the fraud, the victim suffered a loss of Rp. 670 million.

"The complainant pays according to the NJOP of the land in that location," he said.

As a result of their actions, the suspects were charged with Article 378 of the Criminal Code, Article 266 of the Criminal Code, 264 of the Criminal Code, 263 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with the 56 Criminal Code which carries a maximum threat of 8 years in prison.
