The panel of judges at Central Jakarta District Court sentenced actor Ammar Zoni to 7 years in prison and a Rp1 billion fine for distributing Group I narcotics in Salemba Detention Center. The sentence is lighter than the prosecutor's demand and the heaviest among six defendants. The verdict was read on Thursday, April 23, 2026.
The panel of judges at Central Jakarta District Court found Muhammad Ammar Akbar, alias Ammar Zoni, guilty of offering for sale or intermediating the sale of Group I narcotics without right and against the law. Presiding Judge Dwi Elyarahma Sulistiyowati read the verdict on Thursday, April 23, 2026, imposing 7 years imprisonment and a Rp1 billion fine payable within one month.
In its considerations, the panel noted Ammar's actions had serious impacts on society, particularly the young generation, with involvement in a drug distribution network as an aggravating factor. The defendants' lack of full candor in court was also highlighted. However, polite demeanor, expressed remorse, young age, and potential for improvement were mitigating factors.
The case stemmed from Ammar's arrest in December 2023 in Serpong for abusing sabu and ganja, leading to detention in Salemba Detention Center. There, he became involved in a new drug distribution case with five other defendants.
Ammar Zoni responded to the verdict with "Pikir-pikir" when asked by the judge. He and another defendant are considering an appeal within seven days. His ex-girlfriend, Doctor Kamelia, remained relaxed, saying "Nggak ada kecewa apa-apa kok, santai aja" and advised consulting the legal counsel for next steps.
