Ashanty Talks About Millen Cyrus's Arrest: He's Not A Dealer, At Best Rehabilitated

JAKARTA - Ashanty hopes that her nephew, celebgram Millen Cyrus, who is caught in a narcotics abuse case, can undergo rehabilitation and get out of the trap of illegal drugs.

"This is abuse. He is definitely not a dealer, he is just a user so maybe it is best to be rehabilitated," said Ashanty in a video uploaded to the YouTube channel quoted by Antara, Wednesday, November 25.

Ashanty apologized for the incident. "Sorry for the uproar with this news," said Ashanty.

He admitted that he was still surprised at the news that his nephew was named a suspect in the possession of 0.36 grams of methamphetamine-type narcotics. Because of that, Ashanty only gave a statement after a few days.

The wife of Anang Hermansyah admitted that she did not know for sure the detailed chronology of Millen Cyrus' arrest, especially since her niece had confessed her actions to the authorities.

As a family representative, Ashanty hopes that this incident will become a lesson for Millen so that she can take better care of herself in the future, choose good associations and avoid the temptations of illegal drugs.

"What I heard from her brother also that she just started using 3-4 months, so maybe with this 'warning' earlier, it is as if getting this accident is better, so that in the future, she doesn't fall further."

Ashanty had conveyed the message to protect yourself from a long time ago to Millen. This accident is expected to make Millen not repeat the same mistakes in choosing friends and associations.

Considering that his nephew had admitted to abusing drugs, his family did not support this act, but still accompanied Millen during the legal process. Ashanty submitted all of this process to the police so that Millen was dealt with as fairly as possible.

Millen or Muhammad Millendaru Prakasa (MMP) was arrested with another man JR at a hotel in the Ancol area, North Jakarta on Sunday (22/11) in the morning.

When arrested, the police confiscated evidence, a gross package of crystal methamphetamine weighing 0.36 grams, a shabu (bong) suction device and a bottle of alcoholic drinks.

Millen is charged with Article 127 Paragraph (1) letter a of Law Number 35 Year 2009 concerning Narcotics with a maximum threat of four years in prison.
