The Polri’s Criminal Investigation Unit (Bareskrim Polri) raided and sealed a nightclub in B Fashion because it was linked to drug trafficking.

progresifjaya.co.id, JAKARTA – The Polri’s Narcotics Crimes Directorate (Dittipidnarkoba) Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) raided and sealed the B Fashion Hotel entertainment venue in South Tanjung Duren, Grogol Petamburan, West Jakarta, early Saturday, May 9, 2026. This action was taken because the venue was suspected of being a drug trafficking den.

According to the released video, several plainclothes investigators entered the B Fashion nightclub. Operations appeared to be proceeding normally. The investigators then asked the employees about Room B15.

When investigators searched Room B15, several people were found inside. During the search, illegal drugs were also found. The investigators then proceeded to Room B02, where a number of drugs were also found.

From there, investigators moved on to Room B12. Several people were searched, and one person was ultimately detained.  A number of drugs hidden in plastic bags were also found.

During this raid, 55 people, including drug vendors, visitors, and employees, were arrested. Of these, 18 tested positive for drugs, of which five were named suspects.

“The five people who tested positive for drugs were named suspects because they were proven to be involved in narcotics trafficking,” said Brigjen Pol Eko Hadi Santoso, Director of Drug Investigation at the Polri Criminal Investigation Agency, in a statement on Thursday, May 14, 2026.

This raid began with information from the public regarding a long-standing drug trafficking practice at the location. A joint police team then conducted an investigation by conducting an undercover purchase on Friday, May 8, 2026.

“The team made an undercover purchase of five ecstasy pills and five vape pens containing etomidate through a female coordinator with the initials DEP, also known as Mami Dania,” explained Brigjen Pol Eko.

Afterward, Mami Dania was arrested. During interrogation, she admitted to obtaining the narcotics from Dervin, the MC at the entertainment venue. Dervin was also arrested at the same location. He told police he obtained the narcotics from Vonny.

“Vonny ordered her husband Canggi Riyanto and Yance (a fugitive) to pick up the narcotics from someone named Rais in Gang Bak Air III, Kampung Bahari, North Jakarta. Vonny herself was arrested at her boarding house in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta,” explained Brigjen Pol Eko.

Drug Distribution Using Codes

From the interrogation, it was discovered that B Fashion Hotel had a drug distribution system using codes. Prior to the nightclub’s routine operations, the hotel provided a “Pharmacist” coordinated by a “Captain.”

Guests who wanted to order drugs simply contacted the waitress, who would then call the “Pharmacist” to come directly to the karaoke room. However, after police intensified raids, management implemented a “Code Red” status.

“Since the operation, they have declared a “Code Red” status. Only VIP guests can access narcotics through the “Captain,” said Brigjen Pol Eko.

The investigation did not stop at the hotel. One of the nightclub’s patrons, identified as AFH, was detected obtaining drug supplies from a prison network. AFH was also apprehended along with 10 ecstasy pills and four vape pens containing etomidate.

During the investigation, AFH was also found to have ordered 100 vape pods containing etomidate through an app from inmates at the Cipinang Class I Penitentiary. Based on this information, the police then arrested three inmates involved. The three inmates were Irwansyah, also known as Jeje, who acted as the courier controller and liaison officer; Faisal, who supplied the narcotics; and Yudith Eric, also known as Paijo, who served as the liaison officer to the Pekanbaru Class IIA Penitentiary network.

Jakarta Provincial Government Revokes Licenses

Following the revelation of this illicit business, the Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Agency (Disparekraf) immediately responded by revoking the operating licenses of two nightclubs in West Jakarta, B Fashion and The Seven in Grogol.

The Head of the Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, Andhika Permata stated, that the Jakarta Provincial Government has zero tolerance for tourism businesses found to be involved in, condoning, or serving as locations for illegal activities.

“The permanent revocation of these operational permits is a firm commitment to maintaining a safe, orderly, and high-quality tourism ecosystem. We want to ensure that all tourism businesses in Jakarta are comfortable and safe spaces for the public and tourists alike,” said Andhika in a statement on Friday, May 15, 2026.

He emphasized, that tourism businesses are not only responsible for their business activities, but also for security, order, and legal compliance in their business environments. Therefore, consistent internal oversight by management is mandatory.

The Jakarta Provincial Disparekraf will also continue to strengthen oversight and coordination with law enforcement and related agencies. This step is taken to ensure that all accommodation, entertainment, and tourism businesses in Jakarta operate in accordance with applicable regulations.

“We will continue to strengthen supervision with law enforcement and related agencies. We want Jakarta’s tourism industry to grow healthily, orderly, and uphold standards that maintain public trust,” he emphasized.
