JAKARTA - A suspected drug dealer named Erwin alias Koko Erwin was escorted to the Bareskrim Polri building, Jakarta, after being arrested in Tanjung Balai, North Sumatra (North Sumatra), when he was about to cross into Malaysia on Thursday (26/2).
"It's already (at the Bareskrim Polri Building)," said the Director of Narcotics Crime (Dirtipidnarkoba) of the Bareskrim Polri, Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso, as reported by ANTARA, Friday, February 27.
Koko Erwin is on the wanted list (DPO) for allegedly being involved in a drug case and giving bribes of billions of rupiah to the former Bima City Police Chief AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro.
Based on the video received by ANTARA, Erwin, wearing a light gray shirt, appeared to limp and had to use a wheelchair when escorted by officers.
His hands were tied with cable ties. He just stood still while being led by officers.
Regarding Koko Erwin's leg condition, separately, the Head of Sub-Directorate IV of the Narcotics Division of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Kombes Handik Zusen, said that officers were forced to fire because the person concerned resisted when arrested.
"(Because) there was an attempt to escape and there was resistance during the arrest," he said.
Previously, the Head of the NIC Task Force, the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Kombes Pol. Kevin Leleury said Erwin was arrested while about to cross the border using a ship to Malaysia.
He explained, in the arrest process, officers also arrested two other suspected perpetrators, namely initials A alias Y and R alias K.
The two people, said Kevin, helped Erwin to escape to Malaysia to avoid being arrested by the police.
"Perpetrator A alias Y was arrested in Riau while R alias K was in Tanjung Balai with Erwin," he said.
He revealed that when detected, the suspected main drug supplier planned to flee abroad because he had made preparations.
Then, when arrested, the suspected perpetrator also resisted but in the end the officers managed to arrest him.
