Jakarta (Antara) - Malaysia will deport two Indonesian police officers recently caught over an alleged involvement in a narcotic syndicate, police chief has said. National police chief General Sutarman confirmed the report that the two Indonesian officers from the West Kalimantan regional police command, Adjunct Senior Commissioner Idha Endri Prasetiono and Brigadier MP Harahap, will be returned to the country. With regard to their status, Sutarman stated that because Malaysia had taken the decision to deport the officers, it was likely that the officers were not directly connected to a Filipino suspect caught carrying 3.1 kilograms of methamphetamine at Kuala Lumpur Airport. "Their deportation shows that they are not directly involved. If they had been involved, then Malaysia will certainly have meted out severe punishment. It is their decision and we respect that," he said. Regarding the deportation process, Sutarman said a team had been sent to Malaysia to escort the two officers. "A team has left this morning. Let us wait to find out whether they will be deported today and what the real issue is," he said. (*)
