Previously, the investigators of the Bengkulu Regional Attorney's Office had named four people as suspects in the toll land acquisition case for the period 2019-2020, namely the former Head of the National Land Agency (BPN) of Bengkulu Tengah Regency, Hazairin Masrie, the former Head of the Measurement Division of the Bengkulu Tengah BPN, Ahadiya Seftiana, lawyer Hartanto, and the head of the Public Appraisal Service Office (KJPP) Toto Suharto.

The four suspects were determined based on the sufficiency of evidence and were suspected of being responsible for the occurrence of corruption in the Bengkulu-Taba Penanjung Toll land acquisition process.

Investigators found inconsistencies in the calculation of the compensation for planted crops which resulted in a state loss of around Rp4 billion.

For their actions, the suspects were charged with Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001.
