Brilio.net - Not a few Indonesian celebrities have had to deal with the law because of drug abuse. Currently being widely discussed is soap opera actor Ammar Zoni . Irish Bella's ex-husband is known to have been arrested by the police three times in the same case. Finally, he was arrested by the police on Tuesday (12/12) night at an apartment in the Serpong area, South Tangerang.
One of the defendants, Akri, who was also involved in the same case as Ammar Zoni, became a witness at the West Jakarta District Court. Akri said that Ammar Zoni was not only a user, but also capitalized in the business of buying and selling illicit goods.
After the examination hearing, the Public Prosecutor (JPU), Khareza Mokhamad, said that the witness and defendant, namely Akri, revealed that Ammar Zoni and Akri had agreed to run a methamphetamine business in December 2023. More precisely, around 10 days before Ammar's arrest, namely on December 12 .

"Based on Akri's statement, the narcotics business is the financier of Ammar Zoni. Based on Akri's statement, it is clear what he said earlier (Ammar capitalizes on buying and selling narcotics)," said Khareza, quoted from Antara on Wednesday (3/7).
Khareza said that Akri was a material witness. Where, Akri also experienced the incident and saw it directly at the location.
"Witnesses who experienced it, saw it, witnesses who were at the location, witnesses who knew, Akri," he said.
Next, Khareza explained the chronology of these business practices. Akri asked Ammar for capital of IDR 50 million. Then, Akri promised Ammar a profit of IDR 5 million as well as 5 grams of crystal methamphetamine which Ammar could consume.
"IDR 50 million. The profit for Ammar Zoni (based on the agreement with Akri) is IDR 5 million. So IDR 50 million gets one ounce, one ounce is 100 grams," he said.
"What was deposited with the dealer for resale was 95 grams. The five grams were given to Ammar Zoni to use," continued Khareza.

During the trial, Akri said that the business was his idea which was then agreed to by Ammar Zoni. It is known that the methamphetamine type narcotics they agreed on had been available four days before Ammar's arrest.
"My idea. Yes, he (Ammar) is fine," said Akri when giving testimony.
Meanwhile, Akri received 100 grams of methamphetamine from a person on the Wanted List (DPO) named Fajar in Bekasi, West Java. Then Akri asked Ammar to send the Rp. 50 million.
" I said (to Ammar) I already have a friend of mine, if that's the case, just transfer the money," said Akri.
After getting money from Ammar, Akri then made a transaction with Fajar. Then Fajar gave him 100 grams of the illicit goods as promised. However, Fajar's transactions did not go directly to Akri, but through a DPO named Yongki, who was tasked with helping Akri distribute the methamphetamine.
Furthermore, Khareza explained that Akri promised benefits to Ammar Zoni within three days. However, it turned out that Akri did not keep his promise.
"We were promised Rp. 5 million in money (profit) within three days. It turned out that in more than three days we didn't return (any of it). Those who returned Rp. 5 million were the same as Rp. 12 million. Then they were given Rp. 5 million in 'cash'. So the total was Rp. 22 million (to Ammar) ," said Khareza.

However, Ammar Zoni denied all the information given by Akri. Ammar emphasized that the Rp. 50 million was lent as business capital, not for buying and selling drugs.
"It's just that Ammar Zoni doesn't admit it, please. Just go ahead," concluded Khareza.
