In addition, the authorities also pay attention to the provisions regarding the prohibition of distributing prescription drugs without a doctor's prescription as regulated in the health law and the criminal code.

Investigation and Suspect Status

Investigators emphasize that the inquiry into the 827 seized tablets is still ongoing by tracing the origin of the goods, the supplier, and the distribution chain. The Metro Jaya Regional Police also opened a line of investigation regarding whether the kiosk owner knew the content of the goods he was selling, or whether the storage of prescription drugs category G and psychotropic substances in the premises was without any knowledge of their status.

"We are not stopping at the seizure. We will trace who supplied the goods, who bought them, and how the distribution network works. All parties involved, from suppliers to sellers, will be processed according to applicable rules," affirmed the release.

The case is expected to proceed to the investigation stage by the prosecutor's office (penuntut umum), with the case file and the results of the laboratory examination as the basis for subsequent proceedings. The suspect, if proven, faces a prison sentence and a fine in accordance with the narcotics law.
