INDONESIA: MEDAN COURT SENTENCES 45 KG METH DEALER TO DEATH
April 29, 2024: The Medan District Court in Indonesia on April 24, 2024 sentenced a prisoner who was behind the distribution of 45 kg crystal methamphetamine to death.
"The court sentenced the defendant Nasrun alias Agam to the death penalty," said Judge Eriyanto Siagian.
Eriyanto continued, "Nasrun committed actions that did not support the government's program to eradicate drugs, instead of reflecting on his previous mistakes."
The court also handed down life sentences to four other suspects and imposed a 20-year prison term and a 5 billion rupiah (around 300,000 U.S. dollars) fine on another suspect.
Promised 200 million rupiah (about 12,000 dollars) by Nasrun alias Agam, the five suspects transported 45 kg crystal methamphetamine from Kualanamu Airport in North Sumatra to Aceh and ultimately Lampung on Oct. 3, 2023. (Source: Xinhua, 24/04/2024)
