Suara.com – Inspector General Teddy Minahasa’s moment was recorded when he got angry and scolded the witness from Polda Metro Jaya investigators. The former West Sumatra Regional Police Chief was presented as a defendant at the West Jakarta District Court, Monday (13/2/2023) in a case of embezzlement and sale of methamphetamine evidence.
The two-star police general’s voice was loud and full of orders when asked about the information from his laboratory test results. He asked the witness who is a member of the Metro Jaya Police Narcotics Unit named Tri Hamdani about this.
Teddy Minahasa initially questioned the results of his laboratory which tested positive for methamphetamine, at the release which was made on 14 October. However, the laboratory test results were received by investigators on October 27.
“What is the basis of releasing me? If a leader is of the same class as the National Police Chief, of course, from the bottom up, he will receive the data. The most basic data is of course from investigators, both of you,” said Teddy in the courtroom.

“I’m asking now, have you ever presented data and information on the results of my laboratory to your boss?” asked Teddy.
Hearing the police general’s question, Tri Hamdani only answered that he was ready. “Ready” Tri said.
“Thank You. It means you are saying that the leadership of the National Police was careless in giving a release,” said Teddy.
“How is it sir?” Tri asked back.
“Do you have good hearing or not? Is my voice not loud enough?” Teddy snapped.
