Ammar Zoni Requests Case to be Dismissed and His Name Restored

Kapanlagi.com - Actor Ammar Zoni is undergoing a crucial phase in the ongoing trial of the drug case that ensnares him for the fourth time. Through his attorney, Jon Mathias, Ammar submitted a defense note (pleidoi) that clearly requests the panel of judges to acquit him of all charges.

This trial, which is scheduled for the reading of the defense note (pleidoi), is held at the South Jakarta District Court on Thursday (13/11/2025). Ammar himself is following the trial virtually from the Super Maximum Security Prison in Nusakambangan, where he was transferred after the incident at Salemba Prison.

Through his attorney, Jon Mathias, Ammar Zoni's side highlights the alleged legal defects in the initial investigation process conducted by the police. This becomes the main basis for them to request that the Investigation Report (BAP) be declared null and void.

"Declare the results of the Investigation Report by the investigator from the Cempaka Putih Police against the Defendant 'MUHAMMAD AMAR AKBAR' as legally defective and the BAP is null and void and/or at least invalid," one of the points read by Jon Mathias.

1. Ammar Caught Selling Drugs

This request for defense feels in stark contrast to the facts that were revealed earlier. At the beginning of 2025, Ammar Zoni was caught selling drugs inside the Salemba detention center in Central Jakarta.

This was discovered after detention center officers conducted a search of his living block. This finding is strongly suspected to be the main reason why Ammar Zoni was subsequently transferred to a super high-security prison in Nusakambangan.

2. Request to Release Ammar Zoni

Nevertheless, his legal team remains steadfast in their position. They are asking the judge to order the prosecutor to immediately release Ammar from detention.

"Order the Public Prosecutor to immediately release the Defendant 'MUHAMMAD AMAR AKBAR' from detention immediately after the interim decision is pronounced," the request continues.

3. Ammar's Fourth Drug Case

The peak of this irony is the request for the restoration of Ammar Zoni's good name, a request that feels odd amid a series of legal cases and new allegations tarnishing his reputation.

As is known, this is the fourth drug case faced by Ammar Zoni. This string of legal troubles has also destroyed his household, culminating in a divorce from his ex-wife, Irish Bella.

Now, Ammar Zoni's fate is entirely in the hands of the panel of judges, who will consider this defense note against the backdrop of his increasingly complex and serious case.
