I'm also at a loss to understand. Clearly they all knew the legal situation and were in cahoots to obviate the law...the law then bit them in the ass. I wonder where the money went.

Yeah but in the end it actually upheld the claims of the English "owner" that they had cheated him out of his [COLOR=#ff0000][I]rightfully owned[/I][/COLOR] land.
Legally if the Brit had not had a rightful title to the property, or at the very least a claim, then there should have been no case for the lawyer to answer. I'm sure that's the way the lawyer saw it.
I would think Gina will be looking around for new opportunities in Thailand/India/FeckingAnywhere but Indo.

If foreign ownership were illegal then this guy would not be going to jail. What do you think?

A lawyer in Bali, Rizaldy D. Wartuty (44) has seen the
Indonesian Supreme Court alter a lower court sentence and imposed three years in prison for fraud and financial malfeasance amounting to Rp. 37 billion (US$3,08 million) in connection with property transactions he handled on the Island.
In the original court decision it was ruled that the Bali lawyer had not committed a criminal act as charged and the matter was purely a civil or contract law matter.
Bali’s prosecutors were unhappy with the
Denpasar Court’s ruling and brought the matter to the
Supreme Court who found Wartuty criminally responsible and imposed the three-year sentence.
Prosecutors pleaded before both the
Denpasar Court and the
Supreme Court that Rizaldy had created two contracts that caused substantial losses to his client, Nicholas John Hyam. Prosecutors also charged the Denpasar lawyer with misusing a
power of attorney issued by his client in order to improperly position himself as a
nominee in the purchase of land in Bali.
Prosecutors in Bali are waiting for formal copies of the
Supreme Court’s decision that will allow authorities to being the lawyer to prison to serve his sentence.

We are pretty short on the actual facts of this case, however the outcome could also be interpreted to mean that anyone involved in creating a nominee structure to help a foreigner illegally 'own' land is guilty of a fraudulent act...

Sorry markit but I couldn't see where anyone said the the English "owner' was cheated out of his 'rightfully owned' land. Can you point to that statement and by whom...thanks.

just get them out all, thom who try to avoid the law
ever one knows, and not only in indonesi and / or bali, it is NOT allowed as foreighner to own property ( land, house, and everything else on the land ), so why those people try to get a cerificate what shows they are the owner. Omggggggggggggg we talking about millions of dollars yah, who can be sooo stupid to fall for this trick.
ONCE and for all, IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO OWN SOME PROPERTY IN INDONESIA, PHILIPINES, THAILAND, all your investments will be gone after you finished buildijng villa or business. They wait till you done, and claim it then from you. ALL GONE, and you can be happy if you not got jaliled, so better agree quickly with them, at lowest court
good luck for all the potentional investers, what wanne get rit of their money.
You buying illegal documents, it is NOT possible for foreigner to own property, why no one listen and try to bribe, and got apalsu document, and afterwards he lost all
i can only say, IDIOTS, no mercy, ruling is clear
Markit
Gee Dino you're just the kind of guy I'd want for a nominee. NOT!

if you refere to me, i NOT selling anything, becouse i am HONEST, and not try to awake the illusion that foreighners can buy any property here, like some others here try to do.
Dont fall for it foreighners, you can NOT own any property here, that is a fact, no matter what others mention, or offer you, it is all illegal and you lose all your money
dino
even for those guys whom renting land, maybe they not understand the ruling.
all you build on the rental land, is property of the owner of the land, it is NOT yours
be carefull, lately i noticed alot of cheap land for rent, super location and really cheap, but max of 5 years rent
so after you finished your villa,they not extend your contract, and the villa is theirs, cuzz you builded on their land
and dont try to destroy it after you found out they not extend contract, you will be jailed for destroy property NOT yours
so here comes the ruling again, as foreighner with NO indo passport, you own NOTHING here even you invest 1 million dollar, it is NOT yours
when finally foreighners get to understand? phefffffffffff or they want to try invest alot of money for the locals, that would be great, hahahahhaa
after your RENTAL contract is done, and you have to do rental if you dont have indo citizenship, all buildings ( means your villa, pool, terras, garden etc... belongs to the owner of the land.
he maybe will say, terima kasih banyak, but that is all you get
so be carefull rental land also here, locals get smart and tricky also, and a notary dont care the contract, he is not adviser
so if you looking for land as foreigher, drop a line to me, i have several location, and rental time 30 years, so enough for your enjoy/business you can use it for 30 years
dont fall for those trick for 5 year rental, they steal your villa afterwards, and buy land you can not, dont fall for that also, they rip you off your money

1) The Denpasar District Court acquitted on Tuesday an Indonesian lawyer and his alleged Canadian accomplice of [COLOR=#ff0000]embezzling[/COLOR] Rp 37.4 billion ($3.91 million) [COLOR=#ff0000][U]from the lawyer’s client[/U][/COLOR].
2) Rizaldy [COLOR=#ff0000]offered to buy the land on Hyam’s behalf [/COLOR]for a $5,000 fee. The 28,700-square-meter lot, [COLOR=#ff0000]Rizaldy claimed, was worth Rp [U]1.3 million per square meter. [/U][/COLOR]
3)The Briton became irate after discovering that [COLOR=#ff0000]the land was worth only Rp 800,000 per square meter[/COLOR], and reported the case to the Bali Police, accusing Rizaldy of [I][COLOR=#ff0000]fraud and embezzlement[/COLOR][/I].
He lost that time but was pissed!
4) "My next strategy is to bring the case to the National Police [COLOR=#ff0000]because the Bali Police did nothing to help me get my money back[/COLOR]," Nicholas John Hyam told The Jakarta Post on Thursday.
5) At the time Hyam appointed Rizaldi as the land's nominee [COLOR=#ff0000]pending the completion of his Foreign Direct Investment (PMA) document. [/COLOR]
6)"He asked me to pay $5,000 for the PMA, but I have still not received it. He stole my money," Hyam said Sunday.
7)The [COLOR=#ff0000]legal land procurement agreement[/COLOR] was made between Rizaldi and Reinta Sortaria Situmorang, the previous land owner.
And finally:
8)Prosecutors pleaded before both the [I]Denpasar Court[/I] and the [I]Supreme Court[/I] that Rizaldy [COLOR=#ff0000]had created two contracts that caused substantial losses to his client, Nicholas John Hyam[/COLOR].

In looking over this again I'm still confused but with slightly more understanding of what looks to have gone down.
It seems to suggest that the lawyer had agreed to be nominee for Hyam [U]until[/U] Hyam could take legal ownership of the land using the PMA configuration the lawyer was paid $5k to set up - which is no longer possible, but was in 2005 (older residents please chime in).
In conclusion: "Prosecutors in Bali are waiting for formal copies of the [I]Supreme Court’s[/I] decision that will allow authorities to bering the lawyer to prison to serve his sentence."

i had once a 2 hectare land, means 20000 m2, payed tax for the land wurth a m2 18000 rupiah, so what are you talking about, sold out for 70 juta / are
means i am illegal cuzz i ask to much? omggggg come on, i can ask what i want for my property, there is NO ruling to court you because you asked to much
omg............. any one here who has more knowledge of property here in Bali, then please confirm, this guy is putting new investors on wrong trail and will cost them alot of money.
i thought we here to HELP echother, not to get RIP off by some member what has no idea he talking about
it is quite simple, he LOST his money, cuzz was stupid enough to think he could own the land, and used a mallifide notary for it to arrange the illegal documents
simple as that,

You should feel good Markit.....
Dino erroneously infers you do NOT know that foreigners cannot buy Hak Milik and yet, in post #11, he says...[I]"every idiot know it is NOT possible to own property in Indonesia (that includes also Bali, maybe you didnt know that)[/I]
By his own words only the rest of us, well aware of RI's Agrarian Laws, are idiots! So, by contrast, you must be a genious!:icon_eek:
Also, he appears to be contradictory....unless he is offering his land free.:greedy_dollars:
note post #8 where he says.....
"[I]so if you looking for land as foreigher, drop a line to me, i have several location, and rental time 30 years, so enough for your enjoy/business you can use it for 30 years."[/I]
and his reply post #14...
"[I]if you refere to me, i NOT selling anything, becouse i am HONEST,"[/I] :confused:

spicyayam
I think everyone here knows foreigners can't own freehold property here and anyone who goes down the nominee path knows the risks involved. If however someone wants to use a nominee then should at least make the agreement they have as strong as possible. I don't believe just because a foreigner is involved they will instantly lose in a court. A foreigner can get their name on the certificate (Hak Tanggungan) not as owner, but as lender of the money, just like a bank would. It would then be illegal for the nominee to sell without the foreigner's permission.
Don't just believe foreigners have ownership problems here. Locals can easily run into the same problem if the notary handling the transaction doesn't do their job. I have heard of properties having like five certificates all to different owners. Notaries are supposed to act independently between the buyer and seller, but of course it doesn't always happen. Getting independent legal help is one way to put yourself in a stronger position.
