Tim kuasa hukum Teddy Minahasa Putra saat menunjukkan bukti klaim dokumen kepemilikan tanah yang dibangun Koperasi Merah Putih, Jumat, 30 Oktober 2026
Kraksaan, desabersuara.id – A plan to provide a facility to boost the people’s economy through a Red and White Village/Urban Village Cooperative (KDMP) in Kandangjati Kulon, Kraksaan District, Probolinggo Regency, has run into a complicated land ownership dispute. The building intended as the cooperative’s center has been sealed by the party claiming to be the land’s rightful owner, former East Java Police Chief Teddy Minahasa Putra. The case has entered the legal arena after his legal team filed a public complaint (dumas) with the Probolinggo Police.
The problem began when the legal team, consisting of Maulana Sholehoddin, Muhajir, Andrias Winarno and M. Bahtiyar Yusuf, found that the KDMP Kandangjati Kulon building had been built on their client’s land without any communication, permission or written consent. Administratively, the 2,000-square-meter plot still carries a freehold certificate (SHM) registered to the previous owner, Bambang Sutrisno, a resident of Pasuruan City.
However, the legal team presented evidence that Teddy Minahasa lawfully bought the two plots in September 2021. The transaction is backed by a legally binding Sale and Purchase Agreement (PPJB), although the transfer of the certificate at the National Land Agency (BPN) has not been fully completed.
In its complaint to the Probolinggo Police, filed on 24 October 2026, the legal team said their client suffered material losses estimated at Rp3 billion, covering the alleged demolition of an old building on the land and the unilateral use of the property. The lawyers demanded that the area not be entered without permission, that the building be vacated and that the land be restored to its original condition. Maulana Sholehoddin stressed that their client fully supports the Red and White Cooperative program in principle, as long as construction does not violate spatial planning law or harm citizens’ property rights.
In response, the Probolinggo Regency Government moved quickly, holding an emergency cross-sector coordination meeting with urban village officials, village officials and relevant institutions. The first agreed step is to coordinate closely with BPN to verify the documents and history of the disputed land.
To keep this strategic rural economic empowerment program from stalling, the regency is also studying a land swap (ruislag). This compensation option is expected to untangle the administrative knot, restore the legal rights of the rightful owner and ensure Kandangjati Kulon residents can still use the Red and White Cooperative to grow their local small businesses.
