JAKARTA - Former West Sumatra Police Chief Inspector General Teddy Minahasa has not been internally sanctioned for being involved in a case of alleged drug trafficking. The National Police reasoned that the ethical sanctions that would be determined in the Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP) trial were only given after the criminal justice process was completed and had permanent legal force or inkrah.

"Still everyone is waiting for the criminal trial process first and more certain," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo to reporters, Friday, March 3.

However, when asked about the difference in treatment between Teddy Minahasa and Ferdy Sambo regarding the KKEP trial, Dedi said the two cases could not be equated.

"The difference is, so the case between TM and Sambo cannot be compared to apple to apple. You can't," he said.

It was not detailed about the reasons behind it. Dedi only said that all suspected perpetrators of banal were given internal sanctions.

However, for the case involving Teddy Minahasa, it was decided that the ethics trial would only be carried out after the criminal trial was completed.

"Yes, so it can't be apple to apple, every case has its own characteristics, has its own interpretation by the judge of the commission which he has his own juridical reasons that they can handle," said Dedi.

For information, Inspector General Teddy Minahasa ordered his subordinates, AKBP Doddy Prawiranegara to set aside evidence of methamphetamine from the results of the disclosure of the case to be circulated.

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.

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 articles suspected of Teddy are 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.
