“From these operations, we confiscated various types of narcotics worth an estimated Rp29.37 trillion,” said INP Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo during a drug destruction event attended by President Prabowo at Bhayangkara Field, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (29/10/2025), as quoted by antaranews.com.
