Ammar Zoni Moved to Nusakambangan Prison After 7-Year Drug Sentence

The transfer of celebrity Muhammad Ammar Akbar, widely known as Ammar Zoni, to the high-security prison on Nusakambangan Island marks a significant development in his legal saga. Convicted of drug trafficking and handed a seven-year sentence, Zoni's relocation to this notorious correctional facility underscores the seriousness with which Indonesian authorities are treating drug-related offenses.

Ammar Zoni dan 4 (empat) warga binaan lainnya dalam perkara yang sama, telah dipindahkan dari Lapas Narkotika Jakarta ke Lapas Super Maksimum Karang Anyar, Nusakambangan pukul 23.55 WIB, (8/5).

Nusakambangan, often referred to as Indonesia's 'Alcatraz,' is reserved for the country's most dangerous criminals. Zoni's placement there, alongside four other individuals implicated in the same narcotics case, signals a clear message from the justice system: no one is above the law, regardless of their public profile.

Pelaksanaan pemindahan dilakukan dengan pengawalan dan pendampingan dari Kejaksaan Negeri Jakarta Pusat, petugas Direktorat Pamintel Ditjenpas, personil TNI dan Polri dan petugas Lapas Narkotika Jakarta.

The Central Jakarta District Court's decision to sentence Zoni to seven years and impose a Rp1 billion fine reflects the nation's stringent stance against drug circulation. This case highlights the ongoing challenges Indonesia faces in combating the drug trade, particularly within correctional facilities, as evidenced by the original charges stemming from activities within the Salemba detention center. The swift transfer and stringent security measures demonstrate the government's commitment to maintaining order and deterring further criminal activity.
