TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian National Police has revealed 49,306 drug cases from October 2024 to October 2025, during the first year of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka's administration. The National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo stated that the uncovering of these cases led to the arrest of 65,572 suspects and the confiscation of various types of narcotics totaling 214.84 tons.
"From October 2024 to October 2025, the Police revealed 49,306 drug cases involving 65,572 suspects," Sigit said during a drug evidence destruction event at Bhayangkara Field, South Jakarta, on Wednesday, October 29, 2025. President Prabowo was also present at the event.
