Kasranto is considered proven guilty of violating Article 114 paragraph 2 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 to 1 of the Criminal Code.
The prosecutor also revealed aggravating and mitigating things for Kasranto. The burdensome thing was that Kasranto had received, became an intermediary, and sold methamphetamine-type narcotics. He is also considered to enjoy the benefits.
In addition, Kasranto’s actions have damaged public trust in law enforcers, especially the National Police.
While mitigating matters, Kasranto admitted and regretted his actions.
Kasranto together with Teddy Minahasa, AKBP Dody Prawiranegara, Linda Pujiastuti, Aiptu Janto P. Situmorang, Muhammad Nasir, and Syamsul Maarif were charged with trading 5 kg of methamphetamine evidence confiscated by the Bukittinggi Police.
This case began when the Bukittinggi Police uncovered drug trafficking and seized 41,387 kg of methamphetamine as evidence on May 14, 2022.
At that time, Dody, who served as the Head of the Bukittinggi Police, reported the case to Teddy Minahasa, who at that time served as the Head of the West Sumatra Regional Police.
Teddy then ordered Doddy to round it down to 41.4 kg, and asked Dody to exchange the methamphetamine as evidence with 10 kg of alum.
After that, as many as five kilograms or half of the meth evidence which was wart was found to be being re-sold by Teddy Minahasa Cs.
