Satria Police Commissioner Nanda Selling Evidence Of Methamphetamine Is Sentenced To Life In Prison

The panel of judges at the Batam District Court, Riau Islands, sentenced Satria Nanda to life imprisonment for cases of conspiracy to sell narcotics class one instead of plants (shabu) weighing more than 5 grams on a sustainable basis.

"The defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment," said Chief Judge Tiwik in a trial held at the Batam District Court, Wednesday, June 4.

In its decision, the judge stated that Satria Nanda was legally and convincingly proven to have committed an evil conspiracy without rights or against the law of selling narcotics class 1 or non-plants weighing more than 5 grams continuously and not implementing the provisions in Article 87 of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.

"Third, determine the defendant to remain detained," said Tiwik.

The judge's decision is lighter than the demands of the public prosecutor who demanded that Kompol Satria Nanda be sentenced to death.

In its decision, the panel of judges saw things that weighed on the defendant, namely that the defendant did not admit his actions, denied his actions and was complicated in providing information.

The defendant is a member of the National Police with the position of Kasatresnarkoba Polresta Barelang, where as a law enforcer with his position should be at the forefront of eradicating illicit narcotics trafficking.

However, the defendant, continued the judge, allowed criminal acts to occur with his subordinates by taking advantage of his position so that a contradiction to his position did not reflect a good law enforcement officer who protects the public.

The defendant's actions have damaged the good name of the National Police institution, his actions as Kasatresnarkoba are not in accordance with the president's orders in law enforcement and eradicating drugs.

The defendant's actions did not participate in the P4GN program.

"Non-zero situation," said the judge.

Based on the judge's decision, Satria Nanda's lawyer stated that he had a meeting with his client and declared an appeal.

Meanwhile, the public prosecutor firmly stated the appeal because the judge's decision was lighter than his demands.

"Thank you to the panel of judges, we have listened to the decision of the panel and the considerations stating that the defendant was guilty by the death penalty, so we immediately filed an appeal," said prosecutor Ali Naek.
