JAKARTA - Head of Kohod Village, Pakuhaji District, Tangerang Regency, Arsin and three village officials were charged with abusing their authority by issuing documents for ownership of coastal land in the form of oceans, to be sold to private parties.
The Banten Prosecutor's Office, Faiq Nur Fiqri Sofa, revealed that from mid-2022 to January 2025 the defendants changed the status of hundreds of hectares of land to land owned by residents.
"Arsin as the Head of Kohod Village offers seaside land with bamboo stakes to witness Denny Prasetya Wangsya from PT Cakra Karya Semesta," said Faiq during a trial at the Serang District Court, Tuesday, September 30, as reported by ANTARA.
The offer was rejected because the land offered was not certified. However, efforts continue to involve a businessman, Hasbi Nurhamdi, who promised to reward up to Rp500 million if the required documents for issuing certificates of ownership (SHM) are successfully made.
"The conditions are in the form of a Certificate of Land Apparatus on behalf of the community, NOP, to SPPT-PBB, as if the land is land," said Faiq.
To meet the requirements, the defendant collected ID cards and family cards from local residents to be used as pseudo applicants. A total of 203 SKTGs were issued on June 20, 2022 with a total area of about 300 hectares.
"People whose names are listed will receive a 40 percent share, while the defendants together with Hasbi Nurhamdi are 60 percent," he said.
The document was printed using a computer and printer belonging to the Village Secretary Ujang Karta, then submitted to Hasbi to take care of the NOP and SPPT-PBB.
Based on the official introduction signed by Arsin, the Tangerang Regency Bapenda issued 203 SPPT-PBB.
"The issuance is carried out as if the sea land has been paid taxes," said Faiq.
Furthermore, the defendants Septian Prasetyo and Chandra Eka Agung Wahyudi took care of additional documents such as PM 1, a statement of ownership, to a land certificate to speed up the issuance of SHM. For this process, Hasbi gradually handed over Rp250 million to both of them.
According to the prosecutor, efforts to change land status will continue until a transaction occurs. In July 'September 2024, Septian representing Kohod residents signed a sale and purchase agreement with PT Cakra Karya Semesta. In January 2025, witness Denny handed over Rp. 16.5 billion to the defendant Arsin as payment," said Faiq.
The land was then transferred to PT Intan Agung Makmur for IDR 39.6 billion. From the initial sales, around IDR 4 billion was distributed to residents, while IDR 12.5 billion was controlled by Hasbi and distributed to the accused. Arsin received around IDR 500 million, Ujang Karta IDR 85 million, and Septian and Chandra each received IDR 250 million," said the prosecutor.
The defendants were charged with violating Article 12 letter b in conjunction with Article 18 paragraph (1) letter b of the Corruption Eradication Law as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
