Banjarmasin, S Kalimantan (AntaranewsKalsel) - The drug ring of Malaysian origin that was uncovered by South Kalimantan Directorate of Drug Investigation some time ago is allegedly behind the action of MR to smuggle Sabu-sabu into the Class IIA Banjarmasin Prison.
"Based on the development, it is possible that a network from Malaysia who ordered the suspects to smuggle Sabu-sabu to prison," said South Kalimantan Police Chief Brigadier General Rachmat Mulyana on Thursday.
The arrest of an unscrupulous worker in one of the law enforcement agencies in Banjarmasin, according to him, continues to be explored, including coordinating with the prison until the network of distributors behind prison cells can be dismantled all.
Asked about the circulation of narcotics in prisons that are still rampant, the police chief said, he could have initiated a massive sweeping by deploying Brimob troops.
"But like we have a house, the prison is the authority of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights ((Kemenkumham). Police whenever asked, if it is lack of manpower to search, we are ready," said the one-star general while explaining that it is no secret anymore if in the prison dealer can still transact via mobile phone.
Previously, members of the Sub-Directorate II of Narcotics Investigation managed to thwart the smuggling of 48.84 grams of Sabu-sabu to the Banjarmasin Prison from the suspect MR (51).
Meanwhile, Head of Correctional Division of the local office of Kemenkumham Anas Saeful Anwar admitted that an honorary worker of Banjarmasin Prosecutor's Office who served as a prisoner car driver has not been thoroughly searched and for the second time trying to put sabu-sabu to prison.
"They use the people who are not searched, of course, we appreciate the officers wearing uniforms, but in the future, I instruct the head of the prison to more tightly," he explained.
Anas asserted, the examination system of Banjarmasin prison visitors is now increasingly tight assisted with an X-Ray machine. However, the number of drug inmates, ie 1,700 people out of a total of 2,700 inmates, makes the economic law applicable. Lots of requests for drugs carried traffickers to various ways smuggle it.
