Ammar Zoni's attorney claims he did not know that the money was lent to Akri for the drug business. Photo: Ammar Zoni was sentenced to 12 years in prison by the Public Prosecutor (JPU). Ammar Zoni was charged with Article 114 paragraph 1 of the Narcotics Law with a sentence of 12 years in prison and a fine of IDR 2 billion.
The star of the soap opera 7 Man Tiger was sentenced to 12 years in prison for allegedly being involved in illegal drug trafficking. Based on Akri's testimony, his friend and drug seller admitted to borrowing money from Ammar Zoni and dividing the profits from selling drugs in half.
Regarding lending money for the drug business, Ammar Zoni's attorney, Jon Mathias, said that his client did not know that the money he borrowed was for the drug business. However, he admitted that Ammar Zoni knew Akri at Cipinang Prison.
"He knew that when he was in Cipinang prison, Ammar came out first. A month later Akri came out. After that Akri came to Ammar's place asking for work," said Jon Mathias at the Rumpi: No Secret studio, on Jalan Captain P Tendean, South Jakarta, yesterday.
However, at that time Ammar Zoni was also not working because he had just been released from prison. Plus, Ammar is taking care of his sick father.
Akri kept coming even though Ammar Zoni said he couldn't help. Until finally, Akri came to borrow money for a business in the village.
"A few days later the nutmeg business in the village came back to BAP. Ammar is usually easy to pity, even though getting out of prison is also difficult. He lent him money and was promised (profits)," he said.
"A few days later the transfer (of Rp. 5 million) was used as evidence by the prosecutor, but it was linked to Akri's confession," explained Jon Mathias.
Khareza Mokhamad Thayzar as the Public Prosecutor explained about Ammar Zoni who was said to be involved in drug trafficking.
"Ammar Zoni's considerations (claims) in the category of addicts who were also involved in illicit narcotics trafficking were based on legal facts during the trial," said Khareza Mokhamad Thayzar as the Public Prosecutor when met after the trial, Tuesday (16/7/2024).
Ammar Zoni is said to have received proceeds from drug sales. However, no details were mentioned regarding the buying and selling of illicit goods.
"The profit (profit) has been received. So from the proceeds of Ammar Zoni's drug buying and selling, the profit is divided into two. First, he was promised a profit of IDR 5 million, then the second profit was to get 5 grams of methamphetamine for free," said Khareza. /detik.com
