The Central Lombok District Attorney's Office has successfully auctioned assets valued at Rp2.66 billion, seized from Ir. Nyoman Suwarjana, a convict in the Lombok Airport development corruption case. This action, facilitated by the Denpasar State Property and Auction Service Office (KPKNL), is a significant step in the ongoing optimization of state asset recovery. Alfa Dera, Head of Intelligence at the Central Lombok District Attorney's Office, highlighted the auction as a tangible manifestation of efforts to return assets derived from criminal acts to the state. The auctioned property, located on Jalan Gatot Subroto in Denpasar, included land and buildings. Meanwhile, two other plots of land and buildings in Denpasar, with an initial limit of Rp3.59 billion, did not receive any bids and are undergoing further evaluation. The office also reported securing approximately 4,000 square meters of land in West Java, which is currently in the process of administrative completion before being put up for auction. Dera emphasized that law enforcement extends beyond punishing perpetrators to ensuring that assets obtained through criminal activities benefit the state and its people, stating, "We want to ensure that every rupiah that belongs to the state returns to the state."
