The Criminal Investigation Agency of the Indonesian National Police has arrested three new suspects in the narcotics distribution case at the Whiterabit nightclub entertainment venue. Narcotics Crime Director of the Criminal Investigation Agency, Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso, stated that two of the suspects are Denny Wiraatmaja alias Koko and Ika Novita Sari alias Mami Ika, who acted as controllers. The other suspect is Andry Yulianto, who served as the pharmacist for the Whiterabit entertainment venue. Eko said the three were arrested in North Jakarta and Sukabumi on Sunday (29/3) and Monday (30/3). “The arrest of the wanted persons named Denny Wiraatmaja alias Koko, Ika Novita Sari alias Mami Ika, and Andry Yulianto, who are the controllers and pharmacist in the narcotics distribution at the Whiterabit nightclub,” he said in a written statement on Thursday (2/4). During the arrests, Eko said investigators also seized cash worth Rp3.8 billion stored in a safe at Ika Novita’s residence. Based on their roles, he explained that Denny alias Koko instructed suspect Erwin alias Ewing to distribute drugs at Whiterabit with a salary of Rp15 million. Eko mentioned that Denny fled after learning that Whiterabit had been raided by the Criminal Investigation Agency and his subordinates arrested. Before escaping, he said, the perpetrator disposed of evidence consisting of 70 ketamine pills and narcotic pods at the Whiterabit Golf Island PIK branch. “Suspect Denny alias Koko is controlled by a controller commonly known as ‘Mami Ika’ and has a subordinate named Andry who acts as the pharmacist at the White Rabbit Golf Island PIK nightclub,” he stated. Furthermore, Eko said Ika, as the controller, obtained the illicit narcotics from an Indonesian citizen in Malaysia known as ‘Charlie’. The ‘Charlie’ in question is a fugitive wanted by the Criminal Investigation Agency, Andre Fernando alias The Doctor.
