BENGKULU - Muksir, a convicted drug dealer, has paid a fine of Rp800 million. After that, Muksir was released from prison because he did not need to undergo additional imprisonment after paying the fine.

Head of the Legal Information Section of the Bengkulu High Prosecutor's Office, Ristianti Andriani, said that based on the Bengkulu District Court's decision, Muksir served a sentence of four years and two months. In addition, he was also fined Rp. 800 million with a subsidiary of three months in prison.

By paying the money to the state treasury, Muksir will be released immediately.

"Through the family of the convicted drug dealer, Muksir alias Muk, he paid a fine of IDR 800 million for the case he was undergoing," said Andriani, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, April 20.

The payment of the case money has been submitted by the family to the Bengkulu High Prosecutor's Office and directly deposited into the state treasury, so that before Eid Al-Fitr 1443 Hijri, he can breathe free air.

Before being arrested by the Bengkulu Police Directorate of Drugs and Drugs for his drug case, Muksir was also arrested by the National Narcotics Agency in 2019. Muksir is a prisoner of the Curup Prison in Rejang Lebong Regency, Bengkulu.
