Polda Metro Jaya emphasized that it would not stop the legal process against Inspector General Teddy Minahasa (TM) even though the person concerned withdrew the investigation report (BAP) related to the alleged crime of narcotics abuse. "Revocation of the BAP does not mean that the criminal act has died or disappeared, or disappeared at all," said Director of Drug Investigation at the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Mukti Juharsa in a statement in Jakarta, Antara, Sunday, November 20. Mukti also had no problem with the revocation of the BAP and said that the revocation of the BAP was the right of Teddy Minahasa. "For the revocation of the BAP is the right of Mr. TM, the right of his lawyer to defend his client," he said. Mukti further said that investigators had pocketed four pieces of evidence to determine Inspector General Teddy Minahasa as a suspect in the alleged crime of narcotics abuse. "We already have four pieces of evidence, the first is witness testimony, the second is expert testimony, the third is a letter. It's complete for us," said Mukti. Previously, Inspector General Teddy Minahasa through his attorney revoked all BAP related to the alleged narcotics abuse case that ensnared him. "Today Teddy Minahasa in his BAP stated that he revoked all BAP as suspects, both the first and second BAPs and also withdrew the BAPs that had been given as witnesses to the suspect Doddy and suspect Linda," said Teddy's attorney, Hotman Paris Hutapea at Polda Metro Jaya, last Friday. Hotman claims that the narcotics evidence used as evidence in the case that ensnared his client turned out to have nothing to do with his client. Polda Metro Jaya investigators have named Inspector General Teddy Minahasa as a suspect in the case of illicit drug trafficking, Friday, October 14. The person concerned is currently undergoing detention at the Polda Metro Jaya Narcotics Detention Center starting Monday, October 24. Polda Metro Jaya investigators stated that Inspector General Teddy Minahasa was suspected of having ordered his subordinates to set aside evidence of methamphetamine from the results of the disclosure of the case to be circulated. The Bukit Tinggi Police initially wanted to destroy 40 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, but Inspector General Teddy Minahasa allegedly ordered to exchange five kilograms of crystal methamphetamine with tawas. However, the embezzlement of drug evidence was finally uncovered by a series of disclosures of narcotics cases by the Central Jakarta Metro Police and Polda Metro Jaya. A total of 1.7 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine has been successfully circulated while the remaining 3.3 kilograms have been confiscated by officers. The article alleged against Teddy is Article 114 Paragraph 3 sub Article 112 Paragraph 2 Jo Article 132 Paragraph 1 Jo Article 55 Law Number 35 Year 2009 with a maximum threat of the death penalty and a minimum of 20 years in prison.
