JAKARTA - Head of the West Jakarta Metro Police Criminal Investigation Unit (Kasat) Kompol Joko Dwi Harsono confirmed that the two suspects in the COVID-19 drug hoarding case with the initials S and YP had been detained. He confirmed that the suspect YP as the President Director of PT ASA had also been arrested.

"Yes. The results deserve to be detained today. YP was arrested today. Today the recommendation from the Dokkes unit has been issued, the suspect will be detained today," said Kompol Joko to reporters, Friday, August 6.

To ensure YP's health condition, the West Jakarta Metro Police Criminal Investigation Unit coordinated with the Metro Police Dokkes unit to check YP's health carefully. This is to convince investigators regarding the truth of YP's health condition.

"We haven't been detained yet because of health reasons, so we are careful. Don't let it be later if we hold it and then get sick in detention, later our responsibility will be. That's why we are waiting for a recommendation from the team of doctors so that it is not possible to carry out detention," he explained.

Based on the results of the Dokkes unit examination, it was possible for YP to be detained. Kompol Joko also suspected a neurological disorder.

"I'm afraid. It's a nervous breakdown that he'll get COVID-19, he's afraid it's dangerous. That's why we asked for a doctor's statement, it turned out that it was possible to make arrests. That's why we made arrests," he concluded.
