SURAKARTA - The Surakarta City Police have detained and named two suspects in the alleged crime of selling state-owned land or the land of Bong Mojo's grave in Jebres Village, Jebres District, Solo, Central Java.

"The Surakarta Police Satreskrim investigation team after carrying out a case study, then named two suspects G and S. Both are now being held at the Surakarta Police Headquarters for further investigation," Gatot said in Surakarta, Antara, Thursday, August 18.

The police previously received a report from the Surakarta City Government's Residential and Land Housing Service regarding the case of the sale of state land in July 2022. From that report, the police then carried out an investigation until four cases were held and the last one was today to identify the two suspects.

The Deputy Chief of Police explained that the case began with suspect G who had cleaned and built a house on the land of Bong Mojo's grave belonging to the Surakarta City Government covering an area of 80 square meters in 2012.

In 2021, suspect G had made a sale and purchase transaction for the land with a person with the initials LS for Rp. 24 million to be paid in stages. In fact, they know that the land of the former tomb belongs to the Surakarta City Government.

Likewise, suspect S, who owns the ex-tomb land by buying it from an unknown person in 2018. Suspect S then installed chicken claws and building foundations with the excuse that it would not slide.

Suspect S then sold his land to a woman with the initials SS for IDR 8.25 million, even though the land belonged to the city government. The sale and purchase transaction is only in the form of a receipt as a sign that the payment has been paid off.

In addition, the police in the investigation also collected a number of evidences in the form of a copy of the legalization of the Right to Use Certificate (SHP) No. 62 Jebres Village on behalf of the right holder of the Surakarta City Government, one copy of the legalization of the Right to Use Certificate (SHP) No. 71 Jebres Village on behalf of the right holder. The Surakarta City Government is domiciled in Surakarta, and a receipt for proof of payment for land leveling services before construction costs Rp. 8.25 million.

"The land area of Bong Mojo's grave in the Jebres Solo Village belonging to the Surakarta City Government is about 5 hectares in total. We will continue to develop the case," said the Deputy Chief of Police.

For the actions of the two suspects, G and S, they are charged with Article 385 Ke-1e of the Criminal Code concerning criminal acts against the right to sell, exchange or make debt dependents according to the people's right to use government land for their own benefit or for others, which carries a maximum penalty of four years in prison. .
