Nia Ramadhani And Ardi Bakrie Will Execute Sentences In Drug Cases

Nia Ramadhani (Sihol Hasugian/ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The couple Nia Ramadhani and Ardi Bakrie will undergo a drug trial verdict on Tuesday, January 11.

Previously, the Public Prosecutor (JPU) demanded the panel of judges to sentence Nia and Ardi to 12 months rehabilitation at the Drug Addiction Hospital (RSKO) in Cibubur, East Jakarta.

This is because Nia, Ardi, and their driver, Zen Vivanto, have been proven to have committed a criminal act of drug abuse of class 1 in accordance with Article 127 paragraph (1) letter a of Law Number 35 of 2009.

Nia also rejected the prosecutor's demands because she claimed that she had recovered from drug consumption. Therefore, Nia's lawyer, Wa Ode Nur Zainab, asked for a reduction in the rehabilitation period to six months.

Nia was arrested by the Drug Investigation Unit (Satres) of the Central Jakarta Metro Police at her residence in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta on July 7, 2021.

Then, the Central Jakarta Metro Police named three suspects in the drug abuse case, namely Nia Ramadhani and Ardi Bakrie.

The police have arrested the three suspects since July 7, 2021 with evidence of one clip of crystal methamphetamine weighing 0.78 grams and one bong (shabu smoking device).
