Former Bukittinggi Police Chief, Doddy Prawiranegara (ANTARA)

The defendant in the drug trafficking case and former Bukittinggi Police Chief, Doddy Prawiranegara, received a letter from Teddy Minahasa containing an invitation to join after being arrested by Polda Metro Jaya. Doddy did not explain in detail the invitation to join in the letter. "This (letter) related to me was told to join the defendant's brother, to dispose of all of them to Arif (Syamsul Ma'arif) and the dealer is Anita," said Doddy in front of the West Jakarta District Court (PN) hearing, as reported by Antara, Monday, February 27. Anita is a defendant who helped sell methamphetamine belonging to Teddy Minahasa in Jakarta. Meanwhile, Samsul Ma'arif was the defendant who helped bring Teddy Minahasa's methamphetamine from West Sumatra to Jakarta. Doddy pleaded with the presiding judge, Jon Sarman Saragih, to read the letter at the end of the trial. "This defendant always gave orders and directions to me. Even when I was arrested at the Metro Police, let me read a small letter, write the hand of the defendant's brother (Teddy)," said Doddy. The presiding judge, Jon Sarman Saragih, suggested that the letter be read out when Doddy acted as a defendant in another case. Currently, the judge only expects Doddy to explain the process of delivering methamphetamine belonging to Teddy Minahasa from West Sumatra to DKI Jakarta. "Because you are in this case, of course this is more useful for your case in others," said the judge. The Bukittinggi Police initially wanted to destroy 40 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, but Inspector General Teddy Minahasa allegedly ordered to exchange five kilograms of crystal methamphetamine for tawas. 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 circulated. Meanwhile, the remaining 3.3 kilograms were confiscated by officers. The articles suspected of Teddy, namely 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.
