Juruterbang ditahan di Indonesia disyaki bawa dadah ke beberapa negara sejak 2024

Malaysian man, aged 39, was detained in Indonesia in July with approximately 25kg of drugs at the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten. Police claim he allegedly smuggled drugs from Malaysia to several countries since 2024. The man, identified as Juruterbang by the Bukit Aman Drug Enforcement Agency, admitted to customs officials in Jakarta that he had carried drugs to multiple destinations.

The investigation found no evidence of criminal activity at Kuala Lumpur International Airport during his departure. The suspect also revealed information about several drug syndicates in Malaysia and other countries, including Indonesia. It is expected that authorities will investigate known members of these syndicates, including the money trail related to drug sales.

The suspect remains in Indonesian custody and will face legal proceedings in the country. Regarding extradition to Malaysia, the police declined to comment due to the cross-border nature of the case. The suspect was taken into custody at Terminal 3 of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten, on July 29 after arriving from Kuala Lumpur on flight MH727.

The investigation is still ongoing regarding the route, destination, and payment received by the suspect since 2024.
