Ecstasy dealer gets four years

JAKARTA (JP): The North Jakarta District Court sentenced a man
on Tuesday to four years in jail and fined him Rp 150 million
($15,000) or three months imprisonment for possessing 13 Ecstasy
pills.

Presiding judge Azynar Abbas said in his verdict that Endang
Suryana had been caught red-handed with the Ecstasy tablets in a
raid on Cleopatra discotheque in Sunter on Oct. 28 last year.

Azynar said Endang was arrested shortly after he sold three
Ecstasy tablets for Rp 40,000 each to discotheque patrons, Antara
reported.

Endang, who said he would need several days before deciding
whether to appeal the verdict, received Rp 5,000 in commission
from his drug agent, the judge said. (pan)
