Case Against NTB Provincial Representative for Document Forgery Remains Unresolved
A case involving Nusa Tenggara Barat Provincial Legislative Assembly (DPRD NTB) member Efan Limantika regarding alleged forgery of land purchase-sale documents remains unresolved. Efan continues to hold suspect status at Dompu Police Resort (Polres) despite submitting a case resolution request through restorative justice.
The Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit (Kasatreskrim) at Polres Dompu, Senior Commissioner Masdidin, stated that investigators are still completing documentation requirements for the restorative justice application that have not yet been fulfilled by either the suspect or the reporting party. Consequently, Efan’s suspect status remains in place.
“The investigators are currently completing documentation related to the restorative justice application submitted by both the suspect and the reporting party. Once we have completed everything, we will then determine our position regarding the restorative justice application,” Masdidin said when contacted on Wednesday (25 February 2026).
The investigators have received a peace settlement certificate signed by both the reporting party and the suspect as one attachment to the restorative justice application. However, Masdidin declined to detail other requirements that remain unfulfilled by both parties.
Masdidin revealed that instructions and guidance have been received from the General Criminal Investigation Directorate (Ditreskrimum) of the NTB Regional Police regarding the restorative justice application submitted by Efan through his legal representative. Based on these instructions, investigators continue to fulfil requirements in both formal and material aspects in accordance with applicable regulations and provisions. Nevertheless, the Criminal Investigation Unit at Polres Dompu has held a special case review meeting for the restorative justice application.
It was previously reported that NTB Provincial Representative Efan Limantika was named as a suspect by Polres Dompu. Efan is alleged to have committed document forgery involving forged signatures in a land purchase transaction in the Nangadoro tourist area, Hu’u Village, Hu’u District. The case has been ongoing since 2011.
Shortly afterwards, the suspect, through his legal representative, submitted a restorative justice application to Polres Dompu. Both parties reportedly agreed to resolve the case through restorative justice, as evidenced by a settlement letter signed by both parties.
