BNN Releases 6 Drug DPOs On The Sumatra Line, Majority Escape To Malaysia

JAKARTA - The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) released six people on the wanted list (DPO) or fugitives in the Sumatra drug trafficking case to Java Island.

These six DPOs were involved in 14 drug trafficking cases that had been uncovered by the Indonesian National Narcotics Agency (BNN RI) during February 2025.

"We will publish DPOs based on 14 cases released," said Head of BNN Police Commissioner General Martinus Hukum during a press conference at the BNN Office, Cawang, East Jakarta, Monday, March 3, which was confiscated by Antara.

The names of the DPOs released by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) were Ridwan alias Alang alias Aleng alias Marko who played the role of controlling the methamphetamine courier hidden in the Pajero Sport car tank, then Ismet Lubis as the controller of the courier for the marijuana distribution case in Medan.

Furthermore, Munzir Sulaiman alias Sulaiman alias Tengku Brahim as the owner of the goods and controller of the courier of the methamphetamine transporter case using a luxury car, Nafsiah who was the caretaker of the warehouse for the distribution of methamphetamine in Jambi using a white Fortuner car, and Muhammad Faturahman alias Fatur alias Boy Mayer Edward alias Badboy as the perpetrator of the crime of laundering money from narcotics.

The last DPO name is Anton Widodo as the controller of couriers and drug owners as well as the perpetrator of the money laundering crime resulting from drug buying and selling.

Martinus explained that the majority of the DPOs fled to Malaysia. He said the Indonesian government would cooperate with the Malaysian Government to arrest the DPOs.

Currently, BNN has arrested 37 suspects out of 14 drug disclosures. The majority of the suspects acted as intermediaries or couriers who brought drugs from Sumatra to Java Island by land.

The head of BNN added that the suspects were charged with Article 114 paragraph (2) and/or Article 112 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 132 paragraph (1) of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, with a maximum threat of the death penalty or life imprisonment.

"We hope that through the demands made by the Attorney General's Office and the ranks and through the confidence of the judges, the punishment will be maximized, at least the death penalty," he said.
