charged with the articles stipulated in the criminal provisions stipulated in the
narcotics law without overriding the special provisions regulated by Law number
11 of 2012 concerning the juvenile criminal justice system. Children aged less than
14 years old can only be subject to action, while children aged 14 years to 18 years
can be subject to criminal sanctions and actions. Regarding the child's right to
obtain diversion, it does not apply to narcotics dealers because the maximum threat
article exceeds 7 years from the provisions of the diversion article.
