Three Legislators Acquitted, Prosecutors Return Rp2.2 Billion to 13 NTB Regional Council Members
Mataram, VIVA – Prosecutors have returned evidence funds amounting to Rp2.2 billion to 13 members of the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Regional Legislative Council (DPRD). The return was carried out after the case involving three legislators ended in an acquittal and has reached a legally binding status.
The funds previously served as evidence in a case involving three NTB council members, namely Indra Jaya Usman, Hamdan Kasim, and Muhammad Nashib Ikroman.
Spokesperson for the NTB High Prosecutor’s Office, Harun Al Rasyid, stated that the return of the money was part of the execution of the court’s final and binding decision.
“Therefore, in accordance with the final verdict, the execution was carried out by returning funds worth Rp2.2 billion to 13 council members,” he said in Mataram on Monday, 28 September 2026.
The execution of the fund return took place at the Mataram District Prosecutor’s Office. During the process, prosecutors also brought representatives from Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI), where the evidence funds were stored via the Other Government Account (RPL).
The money was handed over to each recipient according to the amounts recorded in the case.
Specifically, Ruhaiman received Rp150 million, Wahyu Apriawan Riski Rp150 million, Marga Harun Rp200 million, Rangga Danu Meinaga Rp200 million, Lalu Arif Rahman Hakim Rp200 million, Salman Rp150 million, Hulaimi Rp150 million, Mustafa Bakri (acting as driver for Lalu Irwansyah) Rp100 million, and Burhanuddin Rp200 million.
Furthermore, Muhannan Mu’min Mushonaf received Rp200 million, Muliadi Rp150 million, Nurdin Marjuni Rp180 million, and Harwoto Rp170 million.
The Head of the Special Crimes Section of the Mataram District Prosecutor’s Office, representing the execution team, stated that the money was handed over directly to each recipient.
However, not all recipients were present during the return process. Three of the 13 individuals were reported to be unable to attend.
“Harwoto is currently in Bima, Salman is performing Umrah, and Nurdin could not be reached. Some wished to be represented by their legal counsel, but I declined,” he said.
In the original case, prosecutors had previously indicted Indra Jaya Usman, Hamdan Kasim, and Muhammad Nashib Ikroman for providing funds to 15 members of the NTB DPRD.
In addition to the 13 names receiving their funds on Monday, there were two other council members, namely Humaidi and Yasin, who were alleged in the indictment to have received Rp200 million each from Indra Jaya Usman.
