PEKANBARU - The panel of judges at the Dumai District Court, chaired by Taufik Abdul Halim Nainggolan, sentenced Mahader (48), Marto (41), and M Arafat (52), for being found guilty of being couriers of 31,837 grams of methamphetamine from Malaysia for distribution in Indonesia.

"The verdict was handed down because the crimes of the convicts could damage the younger generation, the nation besides them being part of the international network of drug trafficking by picking up the illicit goods directly to Malaysia," said Nainggolan, at the Dumai District Court, quoted by Antara, Thursday, December 2.

The reason that was incriminating the convict until the panel of judges handed down a decision according to the demands of the Attorney General Nugroho, was also because the convict's actions were contrary to the government's program in eradicating narcotics trafficking.

The defendants, according to Nainggolan, accompanied by member judges Abdul Wahab, and Relson Mulyadi Nababan, were found guilty of committing a narcotic crime, and were sentenced to Article 114 paragraph 2 in conjunction with Article 132 paragraph 1 of Law Number 35/2009 concerning Narcotics.

"All evidence was immediately destroyed in the form of a white sack containing 30 packs of yellow Chinese tea, narcotics type methamphetamine (methamphetamine) weighing 31,837 grams, and a number of cellphones belonging to the convicts. And one unit of the net ship was confiscated for the state," he said.

The lawyer for the defendants, Febi Anggraini, stated that he had thought about filing an appeal, and immediately coordinated this case with Mahader, Marto and Arafat.

The case against the convicts who will stay at the free hotel for life began on Saturday, March 27, at 07.00 WIB, when Ruslan contacted Mahader to pick up methamphetamine. Bandar from Malaysia also contacted Mahader by offering to take 30 kg of crystal methamphetamine (with a wage of IDR 1 million per kg). Assisted by Firdaus (the owner of the speed boat) so that the Rp30 million wage is divided into two, or Rp15 million each.
