Bale Bandung District Court hears narcotics case exception

At the Bale Bandung District Court, defense counsel for A. F. G (20) has filed an exception requesting the dismissal of narcotics charges involving synthetic tobacco. The defense, led by attorney Odie Hudiyanto, raised several objections to the indictment provided by the Public Prosecutor.

Key objections include jurisdictional issues, as the defense argues the alleged incident occurred in Bandung City and should be tried in the Bandung City District Court rather than Bale Bandung. Additionally, the defense claims the indictment is too general regarding the timing and sequence of events, and disputes the legal interpretation of the applied articles under the Narcotics Law and the 2026 Criminal Adjustment Law. The court will next hear the prosecutor's response to these objections.
