Indonesian customs at Soekarno-Hatta airport have revealed three separate interceptions of narcotics between March and June 2026, including a 10.8-kilogram shipment of marijuana from the United States and 7.8 kilograms of hashish carried by a Russian national. According to Hengky Tomuan Parlindungan Aritonang, head of the airport customs office, the US-origin parcel was declared as luggage and destined for Bali, where investigators believe it was intended for foreign residents. The Russian woman, identified as KK, 52, arrived from Bangkok on 3 June with the hashish concealed in a false compartment of her suitcase; she is suspected of acting as a courier for a network also targeting Bali. A third case involved two Indonesian men caught on 29 April with four kilograms of methamphetamine hidden in a blanket inside their luggage on a domestic flight to Kendari. All suspects face charges under Indonesia’s narcotics law, which carries a maximum penalty of death or life imprisonment, and have been transferred to the national narcotics agency and police for further investigation.
