Based on investigations, Jayadi revealed that Nur Utami knew about this even before marrying Saru. Jayadi also revealed that Saru was a drug recidivist.
Saru met Nur when he was still in prison. However, Saru did not provide details regarding his introduction to Nur.
“Before they got married, NU and S, they already knew each other. So they met when S was in prison on a narcotics case,” said Jayadi.
In Fredy Pratama’s international drug network, Saru served as controller of the distribution and sale of narcotics in the South Sulawesi area. Jayadi said that Saru collaborated with the suspect WW who had previously been arrested by Bareskrim.
“We arrested WW some time ago. Coincidentally, it was the Director who made the arrest in Malaysia,” he said.
“As a controller, controlling the distribution of methamphetamine-type narcotics in the South Sulawesi region,” he continued.

Apart from that, Jayadi said that Saru was still being sought by the National Police Criminal Investigation Team for his involvement with Fredy Pratama’s drug network. Meanwhile, Nur Utami was arrested on Saturday (16/9) in Makassar, South Sulawesi.
The celebgram has been named a suspect because she has enjoyed the proceeds of drug sales carried out by her husband. Currently, Nur is being held at the Bareskrim Polri Detention Center.
Jayadi further stated that he had confiscated various assets ranging from luxury bags to cars. It is suspected that the purchase of these items used proceeds from the sale of illegal drugs.
“The assets that we managed to secure were several types of vehicles, including Alphard, then Hilux, including HR-V and several other vehicles,” said Jayadi.
“From those concerned, we also confiscated branded goods, such as LV bags, Hermes and several other types of goods. The total assets we calculated earlier were around Rp. 6 to 7 billion,” he continued.
Until now, investigators are still investigating Nur Utami’s assets which are suspected to be related to money laundering resulting from drug sales.
“We are tracing assets in the form of land and buildings, the team is working,” said Jayadi.
