Know Her In Prison, Celebrity Nur Utami Knows Her Husband Is Methamphetamine Dealer

JAKARTA - Celebrity from Makassar, Nur Utami was involved in the Money Laundering (TPPU) case because her husband with the initials S alias Saru was involved in the Fredy Pratama drug network. It turned out that from the beginning Nur Utami had known about her husband's black business.

"Oh, they (Nur Utami knows her husband is a drug dealer), so from the start before they got married between NU and S, they already knew each other," said Deputy Director of Narcotics Crime at the National Police, Kombes Jayadi when confirmed, Monday, September 18.

Nur Utami found out that her husband was involved in the drug trafficking business because he was acquainted at a correctional facility (Lapas) about 4 or 5 years ago.

At that time, S alias Saru was serving a period of detention for a criminal case. Although the case was not detailed, it was suspected that it was about drug trafficking.

"S was detained in the process and then sentenced to prison and served in prison. Then met S with NU. So on his way, NU found out that S's job was as a dealer," he said.

The figure of S is not a small dealer. Because, he was instrumental in WW to distribute methamphetamine in the South Sulawesi region.

For WW, said Jayadi, it is one of Fredy Pratama's subordinates who is tasked with regulating drug trafficking.

"WW collaborates with S, yes. So it doesn't go directly to the Primary Body, but through the controllers in the South Sulawesi region, namely WW," Jayadi said.

Nur Utami was named a suspect for supporting the proceeds of drug sales in the South Sulawesi region. Then, he used it to buy a number of assets.

"To accommodate the proceeds of drug sales which are then spent in the form of vehicles and branded goods as well as the purchase of assets in the form of land and buildings," he said.

Nur Utami's involvement in the Fredy Pratama network is because her husband, with the initials S, is a subordinate of the drug kingpin.

"NU is the wife of S who is currently still being searched by investigators and directly acts as the controller of the South Sulawesi region along with WW who has been arrested and detained previously," Jayadi said.
