Dody Prawiranegara's lawyer filed a request for the status of justice collaborator or a witness for the perpetrators who worked together with law enforcers.

Teddy Minahasa's involvement in drug trafficking indicates the need to improve the internal supervision of law enforcement officers.

The National Police in cooperation with a number of agencies have foiled an attempt to smuggle 2.5 tons of crystal meth from Afghanistan. This involved an international network, including six inmates.

The emergency situation Indonesia faces concerning drugs is not only spread out horizontally in the extent of its reach, but also vertically due to the way of its distribution.

Advances in science and technology enable humans to create synthetic addictive and psychotropic substances with effects equal to natural ones. There are several types of narcotics that have different characteristics.

The latest data shows that 71 new types of drugs are being distributed widely. Six of these new drugs remain unregulated by the Health Ministry. Consequently, no legal action can be launched against their abusers.

The amount of smuggled drugs that have been confiscated is significantly less than the drugs that have made it into circulation. Cross-agency cooperation is necessary to tackle drug networks.
