A total of 14 people were arrested by police, and three individuals have been added to the wanted list.
“Trafficking of ecstasy-type narcotics and vapes containing etomidate at B Fashion Hotel and The Seven was carried out secretly by several rogue employees and guests who provided narcotics outside of the management of B Fashion Hotel and The Seven. However, the management of B Fashion Hotel was aware of the dark trafficking and drug use at the location,” said the Director of Narcotics Criminal Acts of the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency, Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso, on Saturday (14/5/2026).
