Kabareskrim Komjen Wahyu Widada

The Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Komjen Wahyu Widada, ordered all his staff to ensnare all dealers and parties involved in drug trafficking under the article Money Laundering (TPPU). That way, all assets can be confiscated or impoverished.

"We will never stop by arresting the perpetrators and drug dealers. We will pursue their assets until we will impose a crime of money laundering," Wahyu said in a written statement, Friday, September 20.

By impoverishing the dealers and couriers, it is hoped that it will have a deterrent effect as well as a warning to other perpetrators.

Wahyu hopes that the application of the money laundering offense article can also suppress drug trafficking in Indonesia. This is because they will not be able to use their assets to distribute narcotics again.

"We have conveyed to all levels of the police to the regional level that every disclosure of drug cases is after the money laundering offenses," he said.

"Only by impoverishing them, God willing, we can provide protection to all Indonesian people from the dangers of drugs," continued Wahyu.

Previously, the Directorate of Narcotics Crime, Bareskrim Polri, confiscated the assets of Hendra SabaRUdin (HS), who was convicted of a drug case. The value reaches Rp221 billion.

A number of assets confiscated were in the form of various types of vehicles, namely 21 four-wheeled vehicles, 28 two-wheeled vehicles, 1 speed boat, 4 ships, and 2 ATV.

Then, there are also 44 plots of land and buildings, 2 watches of Luxury, Rp1,200,000,000 in cash and a deposit of Rp500,000,000.
