The suspect was involved in alleged corruption in the use of the license certificate number 5 of 1998 on behalf of the Bekasi Regency Government in Babelan City by the Saung Bekasi Cooperative.
The determination of the suspect was carried out based on a number of facts obtained by the investigative team. First, regional property (BMD) covering an area of 20,278 square meters recorded in KIB A of the Agriculture Service with a code of goods 01.01.11,04,001 and a registration number of 0007 worth Rp4.05 billion.
Then, the BMD was used by another party, namely the suspect NH as the Head of the Bekasi Saung Cooperative covering an area of 5,000 square meters on the basis of the land utilization permit issued by AK as the Head of the 2016 Bekasi Regency Agriculture, Plantation and Forestry Service.
The permit in question is stated in letter number 525/10.48/DISTANBUNHUT dated August 15, 2016 regarding the Land Utilization Permit when the application for a land acquisition place by the Saung Bekasi Cooperative on August 9, 2016.
"The letter was issued by the suspect AK to the Bekasi Saung Cooperative which is known to have no legality in the form of a deed of establishment, business license, NPWP, bank account in the name of the cooperative, financial report and accountability report of cooperative management and supervisory every year," he said.
He said this was not in accordance with Permendagri Number 19 of 2016 concerning guidelines for managing regional property regarding the use of regional property. Plus until now there is no document in the form of an agreement between the Agriculture Service and the Bekasi Saung Cooperative.
NH used the land and buildings to collect vehicle parking fees, both sellers and buyers, including farmers. Coffee traders who use semi-permanent buildings at the location are even charged Rp. 15,000 per day for electricity, security, and cleanliness.
The actions of the suspect AK as the Head of the 2016 Bekasi Regency Agriculture, Plantation and Forestry Service were not in accordance with the authority concerned as a user of goods because it was not accompanied by the approval of the regional secretary as the manager of the goods.
"The suspect NH benefited from managing the market parking lot for personal gain, there was never any revenue from local revenue," he said.
The actions of the suspects NH and AK resulted in state financial losses originating from local revenue in the form of rental income on the use of BMD for the 2016-2022 period which was not collected and deposited into the general account of the Bekasi Regency Government's Regional Treasury amounting to Rp973,026,000.
