\nThe Jakarta Post\/Jakarta<\/p>\n
The Cibinong district court declared on Tuesday land broker
\nDjejen Teteng, 55, guilty of deception and sentenced him to
\ntwo years in prison.<\/p>\n
The verdict was a year shorter than requested by state
\nprosecutors.<\/p>\n
Djejen was known as a top land broker in Cisarua district,
\nBogor regency, West Java. However, he was involved in selling
\ndisputed land.<\/p>\n
He was brought to court after former business partner Satria
\nDjunaedi reported him for selling land without his consent.<\/p>\n
At the trial presided over by Judge Marsudin Nainggolan,
\nDjejen was found guilty of selling 1,500 square meters of land
\nlocated on Jl. Taman Safari in Cisarua district.<\/p>\n
When Satria asked for an explanation, Djejen offered him some
\nland -- a 3,500-square meter plot -- as a substitute, located in
\nCiteko village, also in Cisarua.<\/p>\n
But after Satria checked the status of that plot with the
\nNational Land Agency (BPN) Bogor office, he learned that it did
\nnot belong to Djejen.<\/p>\n
Later Djejen promised to give Satria a 20-hectare plot of land
\nin Tugu Utara village, also in Cisarua, but asked Satria to pay
\nan additional Rp 3 billion to Djejen.<\/p>\n
In trying to convince Satria, Djejen stressed that former
\nnational police chief Rusmanhadi and former military commander
\nGen. Wiranto also had land in Tugu Utara village.<\/p>\n
Satria agreed to take the land after officials of Tugu Utara
\nvillage and BPN Bogor office confirmed that the land indeed
\nbelonged to Djejen.<\/p>\n
Satria also agreed to pay installments of an additional Rp 3
\nbillion from 2000 to 2001. The agreement was made in Satria's
\noffice at Bank Bumi Daya Plaza, on Jl. Imam Bonjol, Central
\nJakarta, with the first installment being Rp 1 billion.<\/p>\n
He, however, learned that the land belonged to the Army's
\nSpecial Forces (Kopassus), prompting him to report Djejen to
\npolice.<\/p>",
