Not detained, Jonathan Frizzy is required to report Monday and Thursday regarding the hard drug vape case

Given Jonathan Frizzy's condition, he is currently required to report every Monday and Thursday.

On humanitarian grounds, Jonathan Frizzy , who is now a suspect in a vape case containing hard drugs, was not detained. He is required to report every Monday and Thursday, considering that he is in the process of recovering from surgery.

On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Jonathan Frizzy was accompanied by his legal team while undergoing mandatory reporting at the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Police, Tangerang, Banten. M. Sonny Mughofir, Head of the Tangerang Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM), also provided an explanation regarding this case.

In this case, the hard drug involved is etomidate. "This etomidate is included in the category of hard drugs that function as anesthesia, or in simple terms, an anesthetic," he explained.

In a press conference broadcast on the Halo Selebriti program on the SCTV YouTube channel on Friday, May 9, 2025, M. Sonny Mughofir emphasized that the vape case involving Jonathan Frizzy was a form of drug abuse.

The use of etomidate in the medical world should be supervised by trained experts. Without proper supervision, the use of this substance can be dangerous to health. "However, in the context of abuse related to vaping, it is clear that this can be dangerous to public health," added M. Sonny Mughofir, emphasizing that hard drugs should not be used without a doctor's prescription.

Jonathan Frizzy's name emerged after the police conducted developments based on information from other suspects, TBR and ER. Now, he faces a maximum sentence of 12 years in prison. Etomidate is not a random substance.

"Etomidate is an anesthetic that works on the central nervous system. Use that is not in accordance with the provisions, exceeding the dose, or not following the recommendations of health workers can endanger the safety of the user's life," explained M. Sonny Mughofir.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Frizzy's attorney, Ida Bagus Ivan Dharmadipraja, SH, stated that his client was very cooperative during the mandatory reporting related to the vape case containing hard drugs. "Ijonk remains cooperative in undergoing this mandatory reporting examination. He is currently still in the post-surgery recovery period. Today, May 8, we are not being examined. Only mandatory reporting and signing," he said.
