Medan(WNAM Monitoring): Prosecutors at the Medan District Court, on Tuesday, demanded death penalty for six defendants over their involvement in the trafficking of 45 kg of crystal methamphetamine in 2023.
The prosecutors had found sufficient evidence to prove that Nur Fadli, M. Rahmad, Safrizal, Mahadir Muhammad, Tgk Mansur, and Nasrun had become drug couriers, Prosecutor Febrina Sebayang remarked.
The defendants were found to have violated Article 114 (2) of Indonesia’s Drug Law Number 35 of 2009 and Article 55 (1) of Indonesia’s Criminal Code, she stated.
Sebayang emphasized that the defendants’ acts were indubitably against the Indonesian Government’s war on drugs.
The six defendants’ drug case was uncovered following the arrest of Luthfi at the Kualanamu International Airport in North Sumatra Province on September 21, 2023.
The Medan District Court’s panel of judges, headed by Erianto Siagian, adjourned the trial until next week to hear the defendants’ defense plea.
