Take Methamphetamine From The Sea, This Man Was Promised 300 Million Rupiah

JAKARTA - The suspect controlling and smuggling methamphetamine with the initials T alias CM (52) can only bow his head in resignation at the headquarters of the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) RI, East Jakarta.

T alias CM was arrested by BNN officers on Jalan Raya Medan-Banda Aceh. He was arrested as a result of the Integrated Interdiction Sea Operation against a drug syndicate network.

"This is the one who went to Thailand who took from the sea (Thailand). This is the same network," said Deputy for Eradication of BNN RI Arman Depari to VOI, Thursday 19 August.

Arman said the suspect's modus operandi was to bring and pick up a small fishing boat.

"Then the handover is in the middle of the sea. The perpetrators are a joint narcotics syndicate of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia (local Aceh). The source is from the Golden Triangle between Thailand, Laos and Myanmar," he explained.

Arman stated, the COVID-19 situation turned out that the drug dealer syndicates did not stop operating.

"In fact, the amount confiscated from the arrests is very large and fantastic. Some time ago the confiscations reached tons. In the middle of this month there were around 304 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine," said Arman.

Meanwhile, according to the suspect's confession, he was promised in every transaction he would get 300 million wages. In action, he is not alone. On the ship, he was with 2 other friends while smuggling narcotics.

"There were three people (on the ship). They were promised 300 million (when they arrived) in Aceh," he said briefly.
