Judicial Commission Report: Bali Courts Rank Among Top 10 for Legal Mafia Practices

Share:

The Indonesian Judicial Commission said that Bali is one of the areas of concern in the legal mafia practice. Bali ranks 10th in the Judicial Commission’s ranking of areas where legal mafia practices are indicated.

Head of Inter-Agency Relations and Information Services of the Judicial Commission, Mukti Fajar Nur Dewata, revealed that Bali is among the top 10 regions monitored based on the number of reports on judicial bodies and courts.

“What we report is that in Bali, reports to the judicial commission are also in the top 10. So because it is the top 10, it certainly gets attention,” he said, as reported by Kompas on Thursday, November 7, 2024.

One of the cases in the spotlight is a land dispute case. “For example, there are many land mafias, various kinds,” he said.

According to him, these problems do not necessarily indicate that the judiciary and courts in Bali are in an unhealthy condition. However, several types of cases have the potential to cause judges and court officials to abuse their power or authority.

Although Bali is ranked 10th, he said it does not mean that law enforcement in Bali is bad. However, his party will form a liaison commission to oversee the judicial system and judges in Bali. This includes working with the Bali Attorney General’s Office.

Land mafia case in Bali

A land mafia case in Berawa went viral on social media some time ago.

The Bali High Prosecutor’s Office (Kejati) arrested officials of Bendesa Adat Berawa, Badung Regency, for alleged land mafia activities. Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), is known to be intervening.

Previously, the Bali High Prosecutor’s Office conducted a hand-catching operation (OTT) on several people related to the alleged practice of land mafia because they asked for Rp 10 billion in money related to investment requirements.

Quoting the Prosecutor’s Office website, the Bali High Prosecutor’s Office arrested KR, a Bendesa Adat Berawa, Badung Regency official. This arrest was made at Resto Cassa Eatry, Jalan Raya Puputan Number 178 Renon-East Denpasar, Denpasar City, Bali, Thursday, May 2, 2024.

This operation follows a public complaint report submitted to the Bali High Prosecutor’s Office, which is committed to eradicating the practices of the investment and land mafia.
