JAKARTA - The case of alleged corruption in the purchase of land by the Sumbawa Regency Government for the construction of the MXGP Circuit in the Samota area in 2022-2023 worth Rp. 6.7 billion is suspected to have come to an end in the former Regent of East Lombok Moch. Ali Bin Dachlan (Ali BD) as the owner and seller of the land.
The Assistant Special Criminal Prosecutor of the NTB Prosecutor's Office, Muh. Zulkifli Said, confirmed the information about the existence of the loss money by seeing an excess payment for the purchase of land with an area of 70 hectares.
"Yes, the connection is who is enriched? You know," he said in Mataram, Friday, quoted by Antara.
In a statement after undergoing the last examination as a witness at the NTB Prosecutor's Office, Ali BD admitted that he received payment for the 70-hectare land with a value of Rp. 52 billion.
Aspidsus Kejati NTB in a press conference for the determination and detention of suspects on Thursday, January 8, explained that the loss of Rp6.7 billion arose from the difference in the appraisal results, from the previous value of Rp44.8 billion to Rp52 billion.
With the nominal receipt of payment of Rp52 billion by Ali BD, Zulkifli was reluctant to give a firm response, but he only said that his party was now focusing on efforts to recover state financial losses.
"That's his (Ali BD) business, we'll see. What is clear is that we handle cases transparently, accountable and humanely, we prioritize recovering state losses," he said.
In handling this case, the prosecutor's office on Thursday (8/1) arrested and detained two suspects. They are named Subhan alias SBHN and Muhammad Julkarnaen alias MJ.
Zulkifli said Subhan, who is currently serving as the Head of BPN Central Lombok, played a role as the head of land procurement when he held the position of Head of BPN Sumbawa.
Meanwhile, Muhammad Julkarnaen as the assessment team from the private sector is from the Public Assessment Service Office (KJPP).
In the determination of suspects based on the results of the case, the prosecutor determined the two by applying the punishment in accordance with the new Criminal Code regarding corruption.
The criminal is listed in Article 603 and/or Article 604 in conjunction with Article 20 letter c of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code.
The prosecutor entrusted the detention of the two suspects at the West Lombok Class IIA Prison.
