The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) submitted a corruption case file and money laundering (TPPU) with the suspect, former Mayor of Bima Muhammad Lutfi.
"Yes, the delegation file has been received. Because it was only received today, the Head of the Mataram District Court has not determined who the panel of judges will try," said Mataram District Court spokesman Kelik Trimargo in Mataram, NTB, Monday, January 15, confiscated by Antara.
With no determination of the composition of the panel of judges, the court has not been able to determine the agenda of the first trial of the case.
"If the judge has been appointed, then the judge will determine when the trial will be," he said.
Muhammad Lutfi's corruption case is registered at the Mataram District Court with number: 3/Pid.Sus-TPK/2024/PN Mtr. The case was registered on Monday 15 January.
Regarding the whereabouts of the suspect Lutfi, Kelik admitted that he had not received further information from the KPK.
"However, if we talk about the rules of the Criminal Procedure Code, when the file is transferred to the court, it must be followed by the delegation of the suspect. However, when it was transferred (the suspect) to court, we handed it over to the KPK," said Kelik.
The Mayor of Bima for the 2018-2023 period has been detained by the KPK since October 5, 2023. Lutfi was detained after being named a suspect in the alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) case.
The case that ensnared Lutfi began in mid-2019. At that time, Lutfi together with a family member began conditioning projects carried out by the Bima City Government.
Lutfi then asked for documents from various projects at the Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) and the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of the Bima City Government.

By taking advantage of his position, Lutfi then ordered several officials at the PUPR Service and Bima City Government BPBD to create various projects that have large budget value and the preparation process is carried out at the official residence of the Bima mayor.
The value of the project at the PUPR Service and BPBD of the Bima City Government for the 2019-2020 Fiscal Year reached tens of billions of rupiah.
Lutfi then unilaterally directly determined the contractors to be won in the auction of the projects in question.
The auction process will continue but only as a formality and the fact is that the winners of the auction do not meet the requirements as stipulated.
For this condition, Lutfi received a deposit of Rp8.6 billion from the contractors who were won.
One of the projects involved in the case included the Nungga Tolawi road widening project as well as the procurement of electricity and lighting of public roads in the Oi'Foo housing complex.
The technical transfer of money to Lutfi was carried out through bank account transfers in the names of Lutfi's trusted people, including family members.
KPK investigators also found allegations of receiving gratuities in the form of money by Lutfi, from a number of parties, and the KPK investigating team would continue to investigate further.
For his actions, he was charged with Article 12 letter (i) and/or 12B of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
