The Dark Clouds of the Albar Family, the Brilliant Careers of the Father and His Children Marked by a Series of Drug Cases - Consuming Illegal Goods Since 2008

On November 26, 2007, Achmad Albar was arrested at his home for allegedly being involved in a case related to the discovery of 490,000 ecstasy pills in an apartment in Taman Anggrek, West Jakarta. Several allegations were directed at him by investigators, including collusion with a fugitive in a drug case, possession, and use of drugs.

Achmad Albar was named a suspect on November 28, 2007. In this drug case, Fachri Albar, Achmad Albar's son, is listed as a wanted person (DPO) after 1.5 grams of cocaine was found in his room.

The arrest of Achmad Albar and the manhunt for Fachri became an important part of uncovering an international narcotics network after the discovery of 1.5 million ecstasy pills and 2.5 billion rupiah in cash, which were suspected to be proceeds from ecstasy sales.

On November 30, 2007, Fachri Albar finally surrendered voluntarily to the National Narcotics Agency. He was accompanied by his aunt, Camelia Malik, actor Harry Capri (Camelia's husband), and Fitria Sukaesih (daughter of dangdut queen Elvy Sukaesih).

Achmad Albar was sentenced to 8 months in prison with 7 months of detention deducted and a fine of 6 million rupiah. It was noted that Achmad Albar is no longer involved with drug cases, but not with his children. 

Yes, Fachri Albar was taken into custody by the police at his residence in Serenia Hills, Cirende, on Wednesday (14/02/2018) around 7 AM. Among the evidence secured from the raid on Fachri's house were 1 package of shabu, 2 boards of dumolit, and bong tools, lighters, as well as marijuana remnants.

According to the statement from Kombes Pol H Mardiaz Kusin as the Chief of South Jakarta Police, Fachri has been consuming marijuana since 2015 and shabu since 2017. After undergoing assessment, Fachri was said to have developed a fairly acute addiction. Yes, the son of Achmad Albar has been consuming these illegal substances for 10 years, under the pretext of using them as a tranquilizer.

On July 10, 2018, Fachri Albar was found guilty and sentenced to seven months of rehabilitation at RSKO Cibubur. This verdict did not mark the end of the Albar family's involvement with drugs. In September 2018, Ozzy Albar was arrested.

Yes, Fachri Albar's brother was arrested for possession of illegal substances, specifically 2.6 grams of marijuana in an ATM room. Ozzy Albar has been known to have used marijuana, meth, and various other types of drugs since 2008. 

The year 2018 could be a tough year for the Albar family. Besides Fachri and Ozzy being arrested for drug cases, Faldy Albar, who was the youngest son of Ahmad Albar and Rini S. Bono, passed away in the same year. Faldy died due to liver disease and ulcers. 

Only 7 years after 2018, Fachri Albar is once again caught up in a drug case for the third time. Yes, on Sunday (20/4/2025) night, Fachri was secured at his residence located in South Jakarta.
