Ombudsman melakukan sidak di lapas cibinong dan menemukan dugaan cluster mewah untuk warga binaan lengkap dengan gym, kolam hingga simulator golf.

Dibalik tembok Lapas Cibinong, kehidupan warga binaan seharusnya berjalan dengan aturan dan keterbatasan.Namun, muncul pertanyaan soal fasilitas di dalam lapas yang disebut-sebut jauh dari kesan sederhana. Ombudsman pun melakukan pemeriksaan mendadak untuk melihat langsung kondisi dan fasilitas yang ada.

Di balik jeruji, seharusnya tak ada kemewahan. Namun, sidak Ombudsman pada 23 September lalu justru menemukan fasilitas yang jauh dari gambaran lapas pada umumnya.Hunian menyerupai klaster, sofa, televisi, kulkas, dapur, hingga fasilitas olahraga ditemukan di dalam kawasan Lapas Kelas IIA Cibinong.Di tengah persoalan overcapacity dan keterbatasan fasilitas di banyak lapas, bagaimana fasilitas istimewa bisa hadir di balik tembok penjara?Apakah ini hanya persoalan satu lapas, atau cerita lama yang kembali terulang?

Na aanleiding van verbintenisse wat die regering op die Dag van die Namibiese Kind gemaak het, word daar 'n beroep op die regering gedoen om hierdie verbintenisse na te kom. Ingrid Husselmann, voormalige Kinderadvokaat en tans hoof van die Ombudsman se kantoor, sê dat die beskerming en bemagtiging van kinders 'n gedeelde verantwoordelikheid van elke Namibiër is.

Wat doet de Ombudsman van de NPO precies? Wat gebeurt er wanneer ON daadwerkelijk het omroepbestel verlaat? En hoe om te gaan met journalisten die steeds vaker opiniemakers zijn? 

Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) menyoroti keras temuan fasilitas mewah di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan (Lapas) Kelas II A Cibinong. ICW menegaskan bahwa skandal ini tidak bisa hanya dipandang sebagai pelanggaran administratif biasa.Menurut ICW, temuan Ombudsman tersebut adalah cerminan nyata dari berulangnya praktik kotor jual beli hak istimewa di dalam penjara. Selain masalah fasilitas mewah, ICW juga menduga kuat adanya penyalahgunaan izin keluar lapas bagi narapidana tertentu. Hal ini sejalan dengan langkah KPK yang saat ini tengah melakukan investigasi mendalam untuk mencari dalang di balik pemberian fasilitas khusus tersebut.

Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) akan melakukan investigasi mendalam terkait temuan sejumlah fasilitas mewah di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan (Lapas) Kelas II A Cibinong, Bogor, Jawa Barat. Langkah ini diambil menyusul hasil inspeksi mendadak (sidak) yang dilakukan oleh Ombudsman Republik Indonesia pada pekan lalu.Juru Bicara KPK, Budi Prasetyo, menegaskan bahwa pihaknya terbuka untuk berkoordinasi dengan Ombudsman serta Kementerian Imigrasi dan Pemasyarakatan. KPK akan menelusuri secara tuntas siapa pihak yang menyediakan, siapa yang memberikan izin, hingga warga binaan mana saja yang menikmati fasilitas mewah tersebut di dalam penjara.

Kementerian Imigrasi dan Pemasyarakatan (Kemenimipas) menonaktifkan lima pejabat struktural Lapas Kelas IIA Cibinong, Jawa Barat, setelah disidak oleh Ombudsman RI. Keputusan tersebut diambil sebagai tindak lanjut hasil sidak sekaligus untuk melakukan pemeriksaan guna memperoleh informasi secara komprehensif, terkait temuan minuman keras, tempat gym, foto-foto, hingga kulkas atau fasilitas "mewah" di lapas tersebut. Namun, barang-barang yang muncul saat disidak oleh Ombudsman, kemudian menghilang ketika Menteri Imigrasi dan Pemasyarakatan bersama jajaran melakukan sidak. Bagaimana Komisi XIII DPR RI melihat temuan Ombudsman RI di Lapas Kelas IIA Cibinong, mulai dari minuman keras hingga fasilitas yang dinilai mewah? Apakah ini mengindikasikan adanya persoalan serius dalam pengelolaan lapas?Simak perbincangan Yuniar Kustanto bersama Anggota Komisi XIII DPR RI, Rieke Diah Pitaloka berikut ini!

Pengadaan barang dan jasa di tingkat desa menjadi salah satu titik yang paling rawan terjadi penyimpangan. Kepala Perwakilan Ombudsman Jateng, Siti Farida, mengingatkan pemerintah desa untuk mencegah konflik kepentingan, terutama jika vendor atau rekanan proyek memiliki hubungan kekerabatan, perkawinan, maupun afiliasi dengan aparatur desa.Praktik nepotisme yang kerap dianggap "hal biasa" di desa ini berpotensi besar membuka ruang penyalahgunaan wewenang. Pengawasan ketat dan transparansi mutlak diperlukan agar Dana Desa benar-benar dikelola demi kesejahteraan warga, bukan kepentingan pribadi.

#325The Renters' Rights Act came into force on 1 May 2026.This episode is a plain-English summary of what changed, what landlords must do now, and what the penalties are for getting it wrong.It includes clips from past guests and a real eviction case study to show what the new rules mean in practice.This is not legal advice — for anything specific to your situation, speak to a qualified professional.Government Guide to the Renters' Rights ActExpatPropertyStory.comCheck out our shorts on YouTubeOur WhatsApp  groupProperty Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter: 30 day trialPro: 30 day

Auction Deals: Part 1; Part 2: Part 3Kirsty & Gary's Nightmare TenantsThe AI Fraud episode!Last week's episodeIn this episode:The Big Change: No More Fixed-Term TenanciesOn 1 May 2026, every Assured Short-Hold Tenancy (AST) in England became an Assured Periodic Tenancy (APT).This happened automatically — landlords did not need to do anything to make it apply.However, tenants should have been sent written notification by the end of May 2026.If that was not done, get legal advice before doing anything else.APTs have no fixed end date and no minimum term.Any clause in a tenancy agreement that sets a fixed end date is now void.Using a fixed-term clause can result in a fine of up to £7,000. Section 21 Is GoneSection 21 — the notice that allowed landlords to end a tenancy without giving a reason — no longer exists.It cannot be used, regardless of what the tenancy agreement says.The main route to regain possession of a property is now Section 8.Section 8 requires a specific legal reason (called a ground) and in most cases must be proved in court. The Most Important Section 8 GroundsThere are 37 grounds in total — this episode covers the most important ones for most landlords.Ground 1 is for landlords who want to move themselves or a close family member into the property.The landlord must give four months' notice, and can only serve notice after the tenancy has run for eight months.The property cannot be sold or re-let for one year after the tenant leaves.Ground 1A is for landlords who want to sell the property with no tenant in it.The same four-month notice period applies, and again the property cannot be re-let or marketed for one year after the tenant leaves.Breaking the restricted period is a criminal offence and can result in a fine of up to £40,000, plus a rent repayment order covering up to two years of rent.Ground 8 is for serious rent arrears — defined as three or more months of unpaid rent.Ground 8 is mandatory, which means a court must grant possession if the arrears are proved.The notice period under Ground 8 is four weeks.Grounds 10 and 11 cover smaller arrears and persistent late payment, but these are at the court's discretion.It is common practice to serve Grounds 8, 10, and 11 together so the case can continue even if arrears temporarily drop below the Ground 8 level. Getting Referencing Right Is Now More Important Than EverWith Section 21 gone, a bad tenant is much harder and more expensive to remove.Referencing — the process of checking a tenant's identity, income, and rental history before they move in — is the most important tool a landlord has.Vicky Wusche, a past guest on the show, has found that fake references, bank statements, and identity documents are passing through many standard referencing agencies without being detected.The key question to ask your agent is not just whether they reference tenants, but how — and specifically what checks they use to detect fraud.Bank-link verification — where the referencing system connects directly to a tenant's actual bank account — is one of the better defences against fake documents. Rental DiscriminationLandlords can no longer advertise a property with phrases such as 'no DSS' or 'no one on benefits'.If an application is turned down, the applicant should not be told the reason.Financial penalties apply to landlords who advertise with discriminatory language. PetsIf a tenant asks to keep a pet, a landlord can no longer refuse without a good reason.Valid reasons include a clause in a lease that prohibits pets, or a freeholder's refusal.Landlords cannot require tenants with pets to take out pet damage insurance. Rent IncreasesThe asking rent must be stated in the property listing and cannot be increased above that figure even if a tenant offers more.No more than one month's rent can be accepted before the tenancy starts.Rent can only be increased once a year and not in the first year of a tenancy.Increases must use a specific form — Form 4A — and require at least two months' notice before they take effect.Tenants can challenge a rent increase at the First-Tier Tribunal, and even if the landlord wins, the new rent only applies from the date of the decision. Notice PeriodsTenants must now give two months' notice to leave, which is an increase from one month under the old rules.In theory, a tenancy can last as little as three months: one month of occupancy followed by two months' notice.In practice, the cost and effort of moving makes this rare. New Regulatory Bodies (Coming Soon)Two new bodies are being introduced: a Private Rented Sector Database and a Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman.Every landlord and every rental property will eventually need to be registered on the database before a property can be marketed or let.Every private landlord will need to join the Ombudsman scheme.Registration on the database is expected to become mandatory by 2027, and the Ombudsman requirement from 2028.Neither is active yet, but missing the deadlines when they arrive carries a fine of up to £7,000, rising to £40,000 for serious or repeated breaches. For Landlords Managing from AbroadEvery issue in this episode is harder to manage from a distance.Referencing decisions, pet requests, and compliance documents all sit with the managing agent — and the agent's mistakes can still result in penalties for the landlord.Time differences add further delays to processes that are already slow.Knowing what your agent is responsible for — and checking that they are actually doing it — matters more now than at any point before the Act. The Leyland Case StudyJohn bought a property at auction in Leyland, Lancashire, with a tenant already living there who had a clean rent history.The tenant stopped paying the moment the purchase completed.The case took ten months to resolve, partly because the tenant repeatedly made promises and partly because of delays in the court process.Under today's rules, Section 21 would not be available as a fallback.The correct approach now would be to serve Grounds 8, 10, and 11 together from the start. What to Do NextConfirm every existing tenancy has moved to an Assured Periodic Tenancy.Check whether tenants were sent written notification of the change by the end of May 2026.Ask your agent directly how they handle referencing, discrimination, and rent-in-advance requests.Get familiar with the Section 8 grounds before you need them.Keep track of the database and Ombudsman rollout dates. ResourcesThe government's free Renters' Rights Act guide and Form 4A are available on gov.uk.The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) publishes its own guidance and runs a landlord advice line.Des Taylor, a past guest on the show, runs Landlord

The Government says it wants to crack down on 'cowboy' traders in the home improvement market– but what does that actually mean for legitimate kitchen and bathroom retailers and installers?In this episode of The kbbreview Podcast, host Andy Davies talks to Trusted Payments founder James Walker about the new government-backed initiative designed to protect consumers and good businesses.He's at the sharp end of how the payment system actually works, whether retailers can keep their existing stage-payment structures, what happens when a customer refuses to pay, the role of the Ombudsman, and why Walker believes the answer to rogue traders isn't simply more regulation – it's making it easier for reputable businesses to earn trust and get paid.If you take deposits, manage installations or simply want to know what this new scheme could mean for your business, this is one you need to hear.

Western Australia's Ombudsman has opened an independent investigation into whether police responded appropriately to Virginia Giuffre before her death in April 2025. The inquiry follows a formal request from Giuffre's brothers, Sky Roberts and Danny Wilson, and their wives, who questioned how officers handled her domestic-violence allegations against her husband, Robert Giuffre. The family specifically wants the watchdog to examine whether her complaint was properly investigated, whether adequate risk assessments were conducted, how concerns involving firearms were addressed and whether broader systemic failures left her without sufficient protection.The investigation comes alongside an internal WA Police review of officers' interactions with Giuffre. Her family said Robert Giuffre received a temporary 72-hour police order following an alleged assault in January 2025, but was not charged and later obtained a restraining order against Virginia that included their two youngest children. The family believes the combined effects of alleged abuse, separation from her children and failures by authorities contributed to her suicide. They and several domestic-violence experts have also requested a public coronial inquest, though the coroner is still awaiting the police report before deciding whether one will be held.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virginia Giuffre: Western Australian Ombudsman probes police interactions with Epstein survivor before her death in Perth

Charlotte Greenway in for Nick and joined by the Racing Post's Jonathan Harding, who begins by looking at which horses might actually lineup in the Coral Eclipse at Sandown next weekend, after Ombudsman was confirmed to be missing the race. Donnacha O'Brien, whose A Boy Named Susie has entries in both the Irish Derby and the Coral Eclipse, shares where he will be heading and Rob Spears explains why Libertango, last week's Albany winner, stood out to him at Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up sale, whilst also updating us on her next target.

Royal Ascot 2026, reviewed through advanced sectional data. Total Performance Data analyst Adam Mills joins In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale to break down the meeting's biggest performances — finishing speeds, top speed, stride length and stride frequency — and what the numbers reveal about the road to the 2026 Breeders' Cup at Keeneland. We dig into the puzzling Queen Anne Stakes and Ten Bob Tony's 50/1 shock, explain exactly what "finishing speed" measures and why US dirt and European turf races run so differently, then turn to the Win-and-You're-In angles: Mission Central in the King Charles III Stakes, Ombudsman's monster Prince of Wales's Stakes repeat, and the gamble of the week — Bacio and Wesley Ward's electric sprint in the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Throughout, the conversation is about cross-form clues: which Ascot winners actually project to Keeneland, and which might get found out around a bend. A must-listen for handicappers, data-driven bettors, and anyone tracking the 2026 Breeders' Cup form lines.

A full-card Royal Ascot 2026 recap. Michael Adolphson joins In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale to go race by race through the meeting — the winners, the tough beats, and the cross-form clues that point all the way to the 2026 Breeders' Cup at Keeneland. From Ten Bob Tony's 50/1 shock in the Queen Anne to Mission Central's King Charles III Stakes win, Bow Echo's gutsy St James's Palace, Ombudsman's monster Prince of Wales's Stakes repeat, Scandinavia's stretch duel in the Gold Cup, Venetian Sun in the Commonwealth Cup, Precise in the Coronation, Almeraq's 25/1 Jubilee, and the American story of the week — Bacio and Wesley Ward in the Palace of Holyroodhouse — plus the Norfolk and the next generation of juvenile sprinters. Michael breaks down where each of these horses might land on the road to Keeneland, which trips suit, and the Win-and-You're-In picture across the meeting. Essential viewing for handicappers, bettors, and anyone following European Breeders' Cup form lines through the summer.
