JAKARTA - Former West Sumatra Police Chief as well as a defendant in a drug trafficking case, Inspector General Teddy Minahasa admitted that he wanted to trap Linda with methamphetamine.
"This is the entrance to beat him (Linda)," said Teddy while testifying at the West Jakarta District Court (PN), Antara, Wednesday, March 1.
Teddy explained that the intention to trap it emerged because Linda had given him the wrong information in 2019.
Teddy and his staff were deceived by the information Linda provided regarding the handling of large amounts of drugs from Myanmar.
"In the 2019 incident on board there were many of my men. I am ashamed of my honor in front of my men, the general can be deceived like this," said Teddy.
The opportunity to trap came when Linda contacted Teddy to ask for a fee from Brunei Darussalam. The reason Linda at that time wanted to sell Teddy's Keris collection.
"At that time I thought this (Linda) would definitely want to cheat again," said Teddy.
Teddy also directed the former Bukittinggi Police Chief, Doddy Prawiranegara, to give Linda five kilograms of crystal methamphetamine. Teddy asked Doddy to borrow five kilograms of crystal methamphetamine that had been detained by the Prosecutor's Office.
"Because based on information from the Chief of Police, the destruction was 35 kilograms, five kilograms were brought to the prosecutor's office for trial," said Teddy.
The goal was for Linda to be arrested while holding the methamphetamine. "Mas, we're working on this guy, this guy has worked with me," Teddy said, imitating the conversation with Doddy at the time.
Linda, Teddy and Doddy were later arrested on suspicion of selling methamphetamine as evidence weighing five kilograms.
Polda Metro Jaya stated that Teddy Minahasa had ordered his subordinates to set aside evidence of methamphetamine from the results of the disclosure of the case to be circulated.
Exchanged Vigilance
The Bukittinggi Police initially wanted to destroy 40 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, but 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.
