Fariz RM Resigned to Facing 6 Years in Prison for Drugs, Although Still Hoping for Rehabilitation

The pivotal chapter in the fate of legendary musician Fariz RM resumed at the South Jakarta District Court on Thursday (21/8/2025). In the rebuttal hearing concerning the alleged drug abuse case that ensnared him, this Indonesian music maestro expressed his deepest hopes, while also demonstrating a resigned and noble attitude in facing the judge's gavel.

Before the panel of judges, the singer of the song Barcelona sincerely reaffirmed his desire to continue the recovery process through rehabilitation. For him, this is the best way to free himself from the grip of narcotics that have affected him several times.

"I am ready to go through it. The important thing is to accept all punishment as long as the punishment is indeed in accordance with the facts," he asserted, if the court decides he must serve time behind bars.

Fariz RM's mature attitude is reinforced by his lawyer, Deolipa Yumara. In her rebuttal, Deolipa maintains the key argument that her client is a victim of addiction, not a dealer who should be heavily punished.

"He should be rehabilitated, not punished. We have hoped for this, and it has been conveyed as well," said Deolipa. She added that the prosecution is now fully leaving the decision to the judge, which she considers a positive signal.

"Well, the agenda later is that on September 4, a decision will be made regarding Fariz RM, whether he should be punished or undergo rehabilitation," said Deolipa. Fariz's resignation is faced with a heavy demand from the Public Prosecutor (JPU) who wants him sentenced to 6 years in prison and a fine of Rp 800 million.

Now, Fariz RM's fate is in the hands of the judges. September 4, 2025, will be a crucial day, when the verdict will be read. Whether he will be sentenced to prison or undergo rehabilitation, everything will be answered on that day.
