"So, the drug trafficking case that we have revealed has something to do with prostitution activities. The girl can be paid for with methamphetamine," said Head of the Mataram Police Narcotics Unit AKP I Gusti Ngurah Bagus Suputra in Mataram, Wednesday, January 17, confiscated by Antara.

The disclosure of this case began with a police report last weekend that it often occurs in one of the jasmine class hotels in the Cakranegara area, Mataram.

"From the results of field searches, we arrested a man with the initials J in the hotel parking lot," he said.

J or H (47), a resident of Karang Taliwang, Mataram City, was arrested with evidence of a methamphetamine package ready for distribution and hundreds of thousands of rupiah in cash which was allegedly the result of drug sales.

"From the confession, this perpetrator will hand over the methamphetamine package to the girl after serving her customers in the hotel room," he said.

Based on the results of the examination, it was revealed that perpetrator J acted as a customer liaison for the "order party" and was suspected of being an accomplice to the circulation of drugs in the Mataram City area.

"So, at first there was a man asking to find a girl, this J agreed and was found. After getting it, this girl actually wanted to be paid money and the rest was given a package of methamphetamine," he said.

However, they had not had time to give the methamphetamine package to the "order window", the police arrested J.

From the investigation process, J is now named a suspect in the alleged drug trafficking case. Investigators named J as a suspect under the suspicion of Article 112 paragraph (1) and/or Article 114 paragraph (1) of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.

Regarding the origin of the goods, Bagus said that his party was still investigating J's statement. In this case, it is suspected that J was involved in the drug trafficking network in the Mataram City area.

"So, for the time being, we have determined J as a suspect with the role of a dealer. For the involvement of other people? Where did the goods come from? We are still developing it," said Bagus.
