Developer reported for fraud

TANGERANG: Dozens of residents from Taman Kota housing complex
in Sepatan, Tangerang regency, reported developer PT Dharma
Tunggal Usaha Mandiri to Tangerang Police on Wednesday for fraud.

Lawyer Chandra Yossy, who represented the residents, said the
development firm's director, Lim Dharmadi, had violated Article
378 of the Criminal Code on fraud. The article carries a maximum
sentence of four years in jail.

One of the residents, Suhatma Revindo, said they could not get
into and out of the housing complex because the main access was
blocked by someone named Hendra Sujadi. Hendra told the residents
that the developer had yet to pay for his land, used as the
access to the complex.

Revindo said the residents sent Lima a letter on Aug. 2
demanding that he immediately address the problem, but to no
avail.

The development firm's operational director, Hamsir Siregar,
said his company had discussed the problem with the landowner and
that the road was no longer blocked and could be used as normal.
