billion US 173,905.27 and 4,188 ecstasy pills amounting to Rp 1.5 million in a raid in Makassar early on Saturday.
So far, the police have named two out of the five as suspect – Amiruddin Rahman aka Amir Aco, 36, and Michael Wibisono, 32.
The police have not yet named the three others, Ayu, Mia, and Syamsul, as suspects due to their incomplete investigations, including the
