South Sulawesi Regional Police and Bareskrim Polri traced the assets belonging to a celebgram from Makassar City, Nur Utami, after being arrested in connection with the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU) resulting from drug sales by her husband with the initials S of the Fredy Pratama network.

"The South Sulawesi Police will certainly record which networks are here. Continue to coordinate with the National Police Headquarters Team to reveal the case," said Head of Public Relations of the South Sulawesi Regional Police Kombes I Komang Suartana in Makassar as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, September 19.

The development of international drug trafficking and sales cases is being carried out by the National Police Criminal Investigation Team. However, so far, his party has not received reports of any assets owned by Utami, including the exact location.

Separately, Faisal, Head of RT/RW 005/001 Tamalanrea Jaya Village, Tamalanrea District, Makassar, said that he knew Nur Utami and became a resident while living in the Hartaco Permai complex and had rented a house.

"Yes, that's right, as far as we know, the house is only contracted, approximately five years. The original house is on the right, not far from the rented house (white contract house). Yesterday there were five people living with their husband," he said.

When asked about her husband's figure with the initials S, a large dealer of Fredy's confidant who is now a fugitive, he said, is unknown, but Nur Utami is an old resident who has lived there.

"She grew up here. In that house there was one husband's family. The other next to the house was her family. In the past, she joined her uncle before getting married, whom we knew. After getting married to Malaysia, she lived in Malaysia. Once she came here, she returned to Makassar. Before getting married (like to hang out) after a closed marriage, "explained Faisal.

Before getting married, her life was mediocre and open and even often reprimanded. However, after marriage, it changes, is closed and has a luxury car. When asked where her husband works, said Utami, mine in Kalimantan and there is a business in Malaysia.

Regarding the search of Utami's house by the National Police Headquarters team, he said, on Friday (15/9) at 09.00 WITA. At that time, three houses were searched, rented houses, and their parents' houses.

"That morning we were approached claiming to be from the National Police Headquarters about something like this. We as RT were asked to witness the search, he said there was a money laundering offense, we were called to witness what was confiscated, taken. As far as I know, three cars were taken. After the incident, his family still lived there," he said.

Previously, Deputy Director of Drug Crimes at Bareskrim Polri Kombes Jayadi said Nur Utami (NU) was S's wife, a suspect who was still at large related to WW, a drug controller of the Fredy Pratama network in the South Sulawesi region.

"If NU does not use narcotics directly. Keep taking advantage of the assets resulting from the sale of narcotics from S, then used or handed over S to his wife to buy or invest by purchasing goods," he said.

From Nur Utami's arrest, investigators confiscated a number of evidences including three units of four-wheeled vehicles (Alphard, Hilux, and HRV), as well as several other vehicles.

Investigators traced other assets in the form of land and buildings, as well as confiscated assets in the form of branded items, such as Hermes luxury bags, Lois Vuitton, and several other types of items.

Of the 39 suspects, there was also a celebgram from Lampung, Adelia Putri Salma (APS), who enjoyed the wealth of the drug network.
