JAKARTA - The Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) of Kudus Regency, Central Java, succeeded in confiscating dozens of bottles of liquor from various brands from two community stalls, one of which was owned by local village officials.
"From the two locations we visited, 86 bottles of liquor were found," said the Head of the Kudus Regency Civil Service Police Unit, Djati Solechah, in Kudus, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, November 4.
One of the places where the business was visited, he said, belonged to Rahtawu village officials with 16 bottles of liquor as evidence. The second place, which is also in Rahtawu Village, was found as many as 70 bottles of liquor from various brands.
He said the disclosure of the circulation of alcohol in Rahtawu Village, Gebog District, was a follow-up to the information that the local village was suspected of selling liquor.
In exposing liquor dealers, he said, officers had to work hard because the traders never displayed the alcoholic drinks in shop windows.
"When someone bought it, it was taken from a hidden place to avoid raids by Satpol PP officers," he said.
The perpetrators will be questioned and given guidance so that they do not repeat their actions. If they are still repeating their actions, they will be legally processed by the Civil Servant Investigator (PPNS).
"It should be remembered that the Kudus Regency Regional Regulation 12/2004 on Alcoholic Drinks is clearly zero percent alcohol. This means that alcoholic drinks are not allowed to circulate," he said.
According to the perda, liquor dealers can be charged with a maximum imprisonment of three months or a fine of at least Rp1 million and a maximum of Rp5 million.
