JAKARTA - The Security Task Force (Satgaspam) of the Indonesian Navy, Juanda Puspenerbal Air Base together with the Juanda Customs KPP thwarted an attempt to smuggle class I narcotics hidden in the vital organs of the anus of one of the passengers at Juanda International Airport.

"The TNI AL Air Base Juanda Task Force as the leading sector and security coordinator in the Juanda Airport area and Juanda Customs P2 Team, carried out surveillance of passengers on the Komersil Air Asia QZ-393 Johor Baru (JHB) - Surabaya (SUB) plane on Sunday (13/10)," he said.

The Commander of the Navy Air Base (Danlanudal) Juanda, Marine Colonel (P) Dani Achnisundani, was reported by ANTARA, Monday, October 14.

Officers suspect the passenger with the initials "II" from Trenggalek, East Java. After an in-depth examination, an examination with a urine test was obtained, the results concerned were positive for using narcotics.

Then an X-ray was carried out on the alleged perpetrator at the hospital with the results found that four bags of foreign objects were found in a vital tool (anus) wrapped in contraceptives.

Within three hours, the extraction was carried out followed by checking the evidence with positive results of narcotics type Menthampetamine weighing 176.5 grams consisting of three bags and one bag containing 10 items of Metylenedioxy methamphetamine (MDMA) estimated at IDR 267 million.

According to Danlanudal Juanda, the mode used by the alleged perpetrator is an old mode because it has recorded nine flights to Malaysia-Indonesia in 2024 with the same mode.

"Joint officers at Juanda Airport are developing networks that are members of several cases of arrest of the perpetrators who have been previously arrested," he said.

Joint officers are still hunting for the brains of the perpetrators, which are Indonesian citizens in Malaysia and there are perpetrators in the Surabaya/Sidoarjo area.

"This activity to thwart the smuggling of methamphetamine and ecstasy pills is a manifestation of the responsibility of Juanda Airport officers to the public, especially East Java. That the real work of Juanda Air Base with Juanda Airport stakeholders is at the forefront of guard entrances to Indonesian territory from various foreign destinations," said Danlanudal Juanda.
