Regent edit
During his tenure, he initiated a tourism project in which the government created a replica of a Majapahit-era explorer ship, meant to undergo an expedition to promote the regency. However, the ship sank.[1][2] Under his term, the construction of Blimbingsari Airport was initiated.[3]
Corruption case edit
In 2007, he was arrested and convicted of corruption regarding the construction of Blimbingsari Airport, a floating dock, and the purchase of LCTs operating in the Bali Strait.[4] He was sentenced to six years in prison in 2008 for the LCT case.[5] Due to his old age, he was not transferred to the usual prison for corruption, but was held at Banyuwangi instead.[6] He was convicted once more in 2010 for the airport case, adding an additional 6 years to his sentence.[7]
Death edit
During his time in prison, he fell down in a bathroom. Samsul passed away two days later on 15 September 2014, 01.30 WIB following a hospital treatment. He was survived by his wife and three children.[8]
Initially meant to be buried in a public cemetery, he was instead buried in a burial complex for Banyuwangi's Regents.[9]
