The Director of Crime for Narcotics at Bareskrim Polri, Brigadier General Krisno Halomoan Siregar, who accompanied Irjen Argo Yuwono, explained that the disclosure of this case was the development of the disclosure of the case of 25 kg of shabu-shabu and 58,606 ecstasy pills at Bakauheni Port, Lampung in November.

From the development of the case, the National Police received information that the source of the narcotics came from Aceh.
