The President Director of PT Lombok Plaza who became a corruption defendant in the management of the NCC, Dolly Suthajaya, lowered her head after undergoing a trial at the Corruption Court at the Mataram District Court, Friday (10/10/2025). ANTARA/Dhimas B.P.

The panel of judges sentenced PT Lombok Plaza Dolly Suthajaya to 10 years in prison and charged the NTB Convention Center (NCC) in compensation and management.

"Sentenced the defendant Dolly Suthajaya to 10 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 500 million, subsidiary to 6 months in prison," said Chief Justice Mahendrasmara Purnamajati reading out the verdict of the defendant Dolly Suthajaya's case at the Corruption Court at the Mataram District Court, Friday afternoon, confiscated by Antara.

For the replacement money charged to the defendant worth Rp7.2 billion, the judge decided to subsidiary or substitute sentence if it could not be paid within a predetermined time, for 3 years in prison.

In the verdict, the judge agreed with the prosecutor's demands which stated that due to a criminal act in this cooperation, PT Lombok Plaza had benefited and harmed the NTB Provincial Government as the owner of an area of 3.2 hectares of land which was the object of the NCC management cooperation.

So that the judge in the verdict stated that the defendant's actions had fulfilled the criminal element contained in the primary indictment, namely Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 18 of Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law no. 31 of 1999 jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.

The judge in the decision also agreed regarding the emergence of state financial losses of Rp. 15.2 billion according to the results of the NTB BPKP audit. Losses arise from the actions of PT Lombok Plaza as the implementer of the development and manager of NCC who does not fulfill their obligations according to the agreement.

This obligation is related to two items. First, regarding the relocation of buildings to replace the Lombok Island Public Health Laboratory Center. Prosecutors found that the value of the replacement building was carried out not in accordance with the agreement and Decree of the Minister of Health dated July 10, 2008 concerning the Standards of the Health Laboratory Center and the Center for Health Laboratory.

The construction of the replacement building was initially agreed upon with a value of Rp. 12 billion. However, in the implementation of the construction in 2014 '2015, the building was deemed to have been built with a budget of Rp. 5 billion. The assessment is in accordance with the results of the analysis of the NTB PUPR technical team.

Due to this analysis, a difference in the value of the replacement building of Rp7.2 billion emerged and became one of the loss items in the handover agreement (BGS).

Furthermore, items of loss worth Rp. 8 billion emerged from the nominal contribution of annual royalties never paid by PT Lombok Plaza to the NTB Provincial Government.

This figure appears in a matter of 8 years of cooperation that has taken place since the payment of royalties for the first year due from November 2017 to February 2024.

For these two items, the judge stated that the state financial loss was Rp. 15.2 billion as a result of a criminal act that had benefited PT Lombok Plaza as the management of the NTB Provincial Government's assets in the form of 3.2 hectares of land on Jalan Bung Karno, Mataram City.

However, the judge in the decision stated that the losses imposed on the defendant were only related to the value of the construction of a replacement building worth Rp7.2 billion taking into account the status of the defendant as President Director of PT Lombok Plaza only running until 2017, before the maturity of the royalty payment for the first year ended.

"Therefore, the reward for the year's royalties worth Rp. 8 billion is the responsibility of PT Lombok Plaza, not for the defendant who ended his position as President Director of PT Lombok Plaza in 2017," said the judge.

The prosecutor previously demanded that the judge impose a 12-year prison sentence and pay a fine of Rp. 750 million, subsidiary to 6 months in prison to replace the fine.

The prosecutor also asked the judge to charge the defendant to pay the overall replacement money for state financial losses that emerged from the results of the NTB BPKP audit worth Rp. 15.2 billion, a subsidiary of 6 years in prison.
