Lastly, money laundering is related to cases of production and distribution of illegal drugs in Yogyakarta. In this case, five people were named as suspects, namely SD, DSR, EP alias Y, LFS alias C, and FT.

From the suspects confiscated money and assets from crimes worth Rp30.5 billion. Where, the amount of money is Rp. 20.6 billion and the rest is in the form of land and buildings.

"The Indonesian National Police remains committed because we realize that it is not enough to just confiscate BB, but there must also be an impoverishment strategy. So that the eradication effort can be maximized," said Krisno.
