Indarto said that Boy has been named a suspect for vandalizing an illegal drug store in Pondok Gede, Bekasi City, on December 27. “Drugs were put into a water container,” Indarto told Tempo.
Aside from vandalism, Boy is charged with violating the law or persecution, police say.
Sources say that he and other FPI members forced the drug store owner to make a written statement saying that they would no longer sell the ethical drug, let alone to children.
Indarto said the FPI member is charged under clause 170 and 335 (1) on vandalism and persecution that carry a five-year jail sentence.
