Prosecutor Cosman Oktaniel Girsang of the South Jakarta district prosecutor’s office asked the South Jakarta District Court on Tuesday 3 November 2026 to sentence Fadel Muhamad, son of Pujiono, to two years in prison, less the time he has spent in detention, for possessing cannabis.[1] The prosecutor charged him under article 127(1)(a) of the 2009 narcotics law, read with the 2026 criminal-sentencing alignment law, which covers people who use class I narcotics themselves rather than sellers.[1]

The cannabis found on him weighed 8.99 grams in total, a gross figure that includes seeds; the prosecutor accepted it as personal consumption, which kept the case away from the far heavier dealing and trafficking articles.[1] The evidence listed in court consisted of three brown paper packets holding a combined 6.22 grams of cannabis, a large clear clip bag of 2.55 grams of cannabis seeds, and a rolled paper with 0.22 grams of used cannabis.[1] The cannabis was hidden in an empty Sampoerna Mild Menthol cigarette pack, and officers also took a black iPhone 12 with an XL Axiata SIM card.[1]

The prosecutor asked the court to order all the cannabis destroyed and to make Fadel pay Rp5,000 in court costs.[1] The next hearing was set for the defence plea, and no verdict had been given when the account was published.[1]
