JAKARTA: City police revealed on Monday that they have arrested four employees of West Jakarta Prosecutor's Office for the alleged possession of drugs.

One of the four, Rudi, was a former staff member of the office's administration section, who had been discharged from service on Sept. 6, 2001, after being absent for three months.

City police spokesman, Sr. Comr. Anton Bachrul Alam, was quoted by detik.com as saying the three others were prosecutors Agung and Bambang, and Martha who worked in the office's evidence section.

"We discovered their involvement in illegal drug cases," said Anton, adding they were arrested separately on Sunday for the possession of 42 grams of shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine) and 25 grams of MDMA, the raw material used in ecstasy tablets. -- JP
