On March 1, 2019, around 4:30 PM WIB, the police raided the Gading River View City Home Apartment in North Jakarta. Zul along with three others, namely Rian (26), Andu (28), and a woman with the initials D (26), were arrested at the location. The raid was conducted after the police received information about drug transactions in the area.

The evidence found at the location was shocking: approximately 9.5 kilograms of meth and 24,000 ecstasy pills. In addition, various supporting equipment was also found, such as electronic scales, an ATM, and cash. This discovery serves as strong evidence linking Zul and his three associates as part of a drug distribution network.

The police secured various pieces of evidence of narcotics with a very high value. A total of 50.6 kilograms of methamphetamine and 50 ecstasy pills were confiscated in this operation. In addition to drugs, several communication devices and banking equipment were also seized, indicating Zul's possible involvement in a broader drug distribution network.

The existence of this large quantity of evidence places Zul in a position as a high-level dealer, not just a user. The decision to detain Zul is considered appropriate by the authorities as it is supported by physical evidence and in-depth investigation.

During the interrogation, Zul admitted that he was involved due to a debt of gratitude to Rian, one of his associates who was also arrested. Zul is said to have repackaged narcotics for distribution to various regions. He claimed to have a significant role in the network, including dividing the goods into small packages ready for distribution.

This confession opens up a picture that the drug network supporting Zul is hierarchical and well-structured. Zul appears to hold a fairly important position in this drug distribution route.

4. First Hearing and Life Sentence Indictment

After the arrest, Zul underwent his first hearing at the North Jakarta District Court in December 2019. The Public Prosecutor (JPU) charged Zul with a life sentence due to his involvement in a large and structured drug network.

During the trial, the prosecutor revealed that Zul violated Article 114 Paragraph 2 subsidiary to Article 112 Paragraph 2 in conjunction with Article 132 Paragraph 1 of Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. Under this law, he faces a maximum penalty of death or life imprisonment.

On March 8, 2019, the Metro Jaya Police held a press conference regarding the case involving Zul. During the conference, Zul expressed his regret in front of the media. He admitted that the role he played in the drug network was a big mistake that he now regrets.

This press conference also revealed new facts about the drug network, which turned out to have a complex structure and was spread across various major cities in Indonesia.

Police investigations revealed that Zul was part of a large network operating with a closed cell system, where each member does not know one another. This system is designed to protect the identity of the major dealers, while distributors like Zul only carry out orders without knowing their direct superiors.

This network is said to have many distribution channels, including areas in Jakarta, Palembang, and Surabaya, which then expanded to Lampung. This strategy complicates efforts by authorities to locate the main dealer controlling the network.

7. Police Statement and Efforts to Uncover the Large Network

According to the Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, the police will continue to pursue the major traffickers at the top of the network. The police are committed to uncovering every layer of this drug network with the aim of eradicating it entirely down to the roots.

Inspector General Gatot Eddy Pramono, the Metro Jaya Police Chief, explained that systematic steps will be taken to ensure that every member of this network is captured. With the case of Zul, the public hopes that drug enforcement in Indonesia will be tightened further.
