A tour guide from Bali was discovered bringing cocaine illegally from Spain. Customs at Soekarno Hatta Airport (Soetta) prevented the smuggling.
A person with initial INK tried to enjoy some cocaine from Spain, which is how the situation got started. The 116 grams of drugs were kept in a safe place. The analysis of INK revealed cocaine in the samples.
At the end of May 2023, shipments of products from Spain were first delivered to the cargo terminal at the Soetta Airport by customs officials in the form of paperwork.
“At the start of the case, we got a package with documents from Spain that were supposed to go to Jakarta. According to Gatot Sugeng Wibowo, the head of the Soekarno-Hatta Customs Office, the products were initially suspected by the officers because they contained plastic clips, but upon closer scrutiny, they were discovered to be drugs.
“When we found the item, it was immediately tested at the Customs laboratory, and the result was positive, indicating that it was a class 1 narcotic of the cocaine type,” he stated.
This finding led to more investigation, which revealed that the item had been mailed from Spain to someone in Bali with the initials INK.
“We once again received a bundle of documents addressed to a person in Bali with the initials INK in the second case, which is still from the same nation. When we double-checked, we discovered powder on 10 certificate papers. 377 grams in total weight,” he stated.
“We believe the intended recipient of this package is a Bali tour guide who works as a courier. And based on what he said, it is clear that a foreigner from Russia with the initials AF gave him the order. On March 14, 2023, this foreigner—a former drug offender at Bangli Narcotics Prison—was deported,” the man claimed.
The joint officers are still conducting additional investigations by liaising with relevant parties in this situations involving foreigners.
INK will be charged with a drug offense which carries a possible penalty of either death or life in prison.
