REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The National Narcotics Agency has seized assets and cash totaling Rp39 billion generated from money laundering in a drug case along with four suspects believed to be linked to the late Freddy Budiman's network.

"One of the suspects is a convict who is being detained at the Cipinang penitentiary, and he received special facilities, including a cell that mimics an office space, complete with a television set and CCTV," the agency's Deputy of Eradication Inspector General Arman Depari informed Antara in Jakarta, Tuesday.

Moreover, he revealed that two other individuals were suspected of working as staff and another British national identified as An Cal oversaw financial matters.

"In order to clamp down on the drug network, the agency does not stop at merely arresting the suspects but also investigated its assets and the results of money laundering," Depari remarked.
