NTB - The West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) has stopped investigating three corruption cases that are being handled in 2023. Assistant for Special Crimes at the NTB Prosecutor's Office, Ely Rahmawati, revealed that the three cases were a project at PT Air Mineral Giri Win (AMGM), government capital participation in the Bima Regency BUMD, and the land lease case at Sekongkang Airport, PT AMMAN Mineral. "In the case of PT AMGM, which relates to allegations of corruption in physical projects and withdrawal of levies, there has been a return when it was still in the Inspectorate," said Ely in Mataram, NTB, Monday, December 11, which was confiscated by Antara. He explained that the return by PT AMGM was based on the findings of the inspectorate worth Rp. 150 million. "So, what is reported, is not in accordance with the facts," he said. Then, for the alleged corruption case of government capital participation in the Bima Regency BUMD for the 2020 to 2021 fiscal year amounting to IDR 21 billion. Based on the results of requests for clarification and field checks, he said, the budget is not in the budget implementation list (DIPA). "So the alleged person is not in accordance with the results of our checks and clarifications in the field," he said. The third case is related to allegations of corruption in the lease of land for Sekongkang Airport owned by the West Sumbawa Regency Government by PT AMMAN Mineral. In the complaint report received by the prosecutor's office, he continued, the airport was stalled or could not be used. "However, from the clarification results, it turns out that the lease status is official and until now the lease is still ongoing, there is also evidence of a lease deposit to the regional treasury, it is worth Rp. 2.5 billion," he said. Furthermore, Ely said that the termination of this case was part of the prosecutor's efforts to provide legal certainty against reports of alleged crimes that came from the public. "The termination of the case is carried out for legal certainty, if it is handled for a long time, it will be a pity for people," said Ely.

Although there is a termination, it is possible that the case can be re-entered in the handling of the prosecutor's office if there is new evidence that leads to criminal allegations. "If there is new evidence, please report it. We can reopen the case," he said. By explaining the reasons for stopping this case, he hopes that people who want to provide reports to the prosecutor's office will not seem careless. "It's a good idea to also include evidence that confirms the existence of a criminal act," he said.
