Indonesian authorities have granted Malaysian police investigators access to question a Malaysian pilot who is being held in Jakarta in connection with a drug investigation, according to the New Straits Times.

Federal police investigators were dispatched to Jakarta to assist in the probe and have now been given permission by Indonesian authorities to question the pilot.

The development comes as Malaysian and Indonesian authorities continue their cooperation in investigating the case, with the Malaysian police seeking information relevant to the ongoing probe.

Further details about the pilot’s identity, the circumstances surrounding his detention and the alleged drug offence were not immediately available.

Malaysian authorities are expected to continue liaising with their Indonesian counterparts as investigations into the case proceed.
