DPR Urges Customs and Excise and Polda Metro Jaya to Thoroughly Investigate Drug Networks to Investors

Member of Commission III of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia, Abdullah, asked the authorities to expand their prosecution of narcotics cases. It is considered that the focus of law enforcement must reach the intellectual actors behind the crime, not just stop at the level of producers, couriers and distributors in the field.

Apart from dismantling the perpetrator's network, tracing the flow of funds is also a crucial aspect of breaking the chain of illicit trafficking. This cross-institutional synergy is believed to be able to reduce the negative impact of drug abuse on health, social aspects and the economy of the wider community.

The Jakarta Customs and Excise Regional Office together with the Narcotics Research Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya previously succeeded in uncovering the illicit trafficking of illegal hard drugs from Surakarta. Officers confiscated millions of pills along with raw materials in massive quantities that could potentially be processed into hundreds of millions of pills.

The General Chairperson of the Central Leadership Council of the National Anti-Narcotics Movement also appreciated this strategic collaboration. Collaboration between institutions is considered very urgent considering the complexity of cross-border narcotics crime syndicates which are increasingly well organized today.
