Pastika sworn in as new BNN chief
JAKARTA: Insp. Gen. I Made Mangku Pastika, who was sworn in on
Wednesday as the new chief of the National Narcotics Agency
(BNN), said his two main priorities would be arresting drug
dealers and providing rehabilitation for users.
Pastika, the former chief of the Bali Police who was lauded
for his investigation into the 2002 bombings on the resort
island,
replaces Comr. Gen. Makbul Padmanegara as head of the BNN. Makbul
has moved to National Police Headquarters, where he is the new
chief of detectives.
Pastika said he would work to include the public in the battle
against drugs. --Antara
