The continuation of the narcotics case of musician Fariz RM at the South Jakarta District Court on Monday (11/8/2025) was marked by an emotional and sharp reading of the defense note (plea) from the defendant's side.
Facing a six-year prison sentence from the Public Prosecutor (JPU), Fariz RM's legal team, led by Deolipa Yumara, firmly requested that their client be released or rehabilitated, stating that the JPU's charges were misguided.

As a second option, if the judge has a different opinion, they request that Fariz be ordered to undergo intensive medical and social rehabilitation. "If the panel of judges has a different opinion, we request rehabilitation. Rehabilitation would be the most appropriate," added Deolipa.
In his plea, Deolipa highlighted the prosecutor's indictment, which he considered inaccurate because it equated his client with a drug cartel, whereas the evidence found was less than one gram.
"On one hand, the law can be sharp enough to split hairs, but often it is blunt when it comes to distinguishing between dealers and addicts, between criminals and people asking for help," said Deolipa after the trial.
"The defendant is a legendary musician who is better known to the public through his songs, not through the evidence presented in this trial," said Deolipa.
My legal team argues that the charges from the public prosecutor applying articles for dealers, such as Article 112 or 111 of the Narcotics Law, are not fulfilled. According to them, there is not a single piece of evidence of transactions, sales records, or witnesses showing Fariz's involvement in the circulation of narcotics.
Therefore, Fariz's actions are more appropriately classified under Article 127 paragraph (1) letter a as personal abuse. "If the defendant is proven to be an addict, then the state is obliged to provide access to rehabilitation, not to punish him criminally," emphasized Deolipa.
"Declares the defendant Fariz Roestam Moenaf Alias Fariz RM Not Proven Legally and Convincingly Guilty of Committing a Crime as Intended in the Charges and Demands of the Public Prosecutor," continued Deolipa.
This is the confession of Fariz RM who feels regret for his actions while reading his personal plea before the panel of judges.
Fariz RM read his plea or personal defense note in the follow-up session of the narcotics abuse case.
