BPN Confirms Sleman Land Certificates of Mafia Victim Transferred via Deed of Sale

The ATR/BPN Land Office of Sleman Regency has confirmed that land certificates belonging to the late Komaridin in Maguwoharjo and Wedomartani, Sleman, have been transferred to a man with the initials PW. The BPN also confirmed that the two certificates are now being used as collateral at a bank. Acting Head of the Sleman Land Office, Dicky Zulkarnain, stated that his office immediately followed up once the case came to public attention, primarily by collecting the warkah, or official documents that form the legal basis and history of a certificate’s issuance. ‘Indeed, there are two certificates mentioned in the news, namely M 4481 Maguwoharjo covering 471 square metres and M 11341 Wedomartani covering 274 square metres,’ Dicky said at his office on Wednesday. ‘After we investigated, a transfer did occur. One in 2010, from Komaridin to PW. Then the second, M 11341, the transfer occurred in 2011.’ Dicky explained that the warkah for the two certificates listed a deed of sale. He also confirmed that both certificates are now encumbered with mortgage rights. ‘The mortgage on M 4481 was registered in 2017, and on M 11341 in 2015. Both are under PW’s name,’ he revealed. Dicky stated that the Land Office has not yet received a summons from the police regarding the case, nor have the heirs or their legal counsel visited the office. Consequently, he declined to disclose further details, including the notary involved, the bank’s name, or the loan amount. He added that the office has moved to secure the certificates to prevent any further changes until the case is resolved. The heirs, who claim they were unaware of the transfer, were shocked to receive a first warning letter from the bank. The late Komaridin’s wife, Lanjarsari, recounted that PW visited their home in 2011 to borrow the certificates for a business venture, promising a monthly profit of Rp 400,000, which was only paid for a few months. Despite repeated requests, the certificates were never returned. The family insists they never signed any sale agreements and have sought help from the Faculty of Law’s Legal Aid and Consultation Centre at Atma Jaya University Yogyakarta, which has reported the case to the Yogyakarta Regional Police.
