Police Arrest Account Providers for Koh Erwin's Drug Network, The Doctor on the Run
The Directorate of Narcotics Crimes (Dittipidnarkoba) of the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim Polri) continues to expand its investigation into the drug network allegedly linked to dealer Erwin Iskandar, alias Koh Erwin. In the latest development, investigators have secured two individuals suspected of being involved in providing accounts to hold the flow of funds from narcotics transactions.
The two suspects are Muhammad Rikki (25), the account owner, and Priyo Handoko (33), who is alleged to have sold Rikki’s account to another party in the network, namely Andre Fernando, alias ‘The Doctor’.
“From suspect Arfan’s statement, he admitted that the methamphetamine drug was obtained from Andre Fernando using an account in the name of Muhammad Rikki,” said the Director of Narcotics Crimes at Bareskrim Polri, Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso, in his statement on Wednesday (25/3).
Andre Fernando is known to act as a distributor supplying methamphetamine to Koh Erwin and is currently on the police’s wanted list.
According to Eko, the account was used as a means to receive payments from Koh Erwin’s drug network. Based on this information, the team led by Deputy Head of Subdirectorate IV Dittipidnarkoba Bareskrim Polri, Commissioner Handik Zusen, along with the NIC Task Force led by Commissioner Kevin Leleury, conducted further investigations.
On Saturday (7/3), the team carried out an operation in the Kapuk area, Cengkareng, West Jakarta. Around 3:00 PM WIB, officers successfully arrested Rikki at his residence.
“Brother Muhammad Rikki, who was on the upper floor, was immediately secured and searched,” Eko said.
From initial examinations, Rikki admitted to handing over his savings book and ATM card to someone named Rio. The team then pursued to Rio’s house, but he was not found at the location.
Officers then conducted sweeps at several points frequently used as gathering spots in the area. In this effort, the police managed to secure Priyo Handoko.
During a search of his home, one methamphetamine smoking device or bong was found. “We secured both suspects along with evidence for further examination at Bareskrim Polri,” Eko stated.
In the development of this case, Bareskrim Polri has also issued wanted status for Andre Fernando, alias ‘The Doctor’ (32). He is said to be the party supplying methamphetamine to Koh Erwin.
The fugitive status for Andre is contained in the DPO/32/III/Dittipidnarkoba letter dated 1 March 2026, signed by Commissioner Handik Zusen as the investigation leader.
“Andre Fernando is to be monitored/arrested/surrendered/informed of his whereabouts to the investigators/assisting investigators at the above police office, with the number 081385277785,” the DPO letter states, as quoted on Monday (2/3).
This case has also implicated several parties, including former Bima City Police Chief AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro and former Bima City Police Narcotics Unit Head AKP Malaungi.
In practice, Andre is said to provide methamphetamine which was then purchased by Koh Erwin for distribution in the Bima area, West Nusa Tenggara. Records show Koh Erwin conducted two transactions with Andre in January 2026.
The first transaction was valued at Rp400 million for 2 kilograms of methamphetamine. The second transaction was also worth Rp400 million for 3 kilograms of methamphetamine.
