The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) has uncovered 113 drug trafficking syndicates between 2022 and 2024.

This number comprises 54 national-scale and 59 international syndicates, with details as shown in the graph.

"In addition to prevention efforts, repressive action against drug trafficking syndicates is a crucial step taken by the BNN to eradicate the increasingly widespread illegal drug trade," stated the BNN in a press release (23/12/2024).

According to the BNN, national-scale drug syndicates build networks across islands and provinces, in both urban and rural areas.

International syndicates, meanwhile, ship drug packages between countries, utilizing air and sea transportation.

"International smuggling groups also consistently exploit loopholes in the darkness of the sea bordering Indonesia. Using traditional wooden and fiberglass boats, they smuggle tens or hundreds of kilograms of methamphetamine to various regions in Indonesia," said the BNN.

A similar case emerged this year. On Wednesday (21/5/2025), a joint team from the BNN, Indonesian Navy, and Customs found 67 boxes containing methamphetamine in the hull of the KM MT Sea Dragon Tarawa. Each box contained 30 kilograms of methamphetamine, totaling 2 tons.

The ship had six crew members: two Thai nationals and four Indonesian citizens. The vessel is currently secured at the Customs dock in Batam City, Riau Islands.

The drug-carrying ship was apprehended by officers while sailing in the waters of Tanjung Balai Karimun, Riau Islands, on Tuesday (20/5/2025). According to information obtained by *Katadata.co.id*, this arrest is a continuation of an operation that began in February 2025.
