Just days after five men and a woman were executed for drug offences, Indonesian narcotics police confirmed that five officers have been arrested for drug possession.
One of the men now locked behind bars in the scandal is a member of a narcotics-busting unit - while another is a senior member of the National Police security and intelligence unit.
The extraordinary case comes in the wake of five foreign men and an Indonesian woman being gunned down by a firing squad in the early hours of Sunday after their final appeals for clemency were turned down.
The six drug traffickers were executed in the country just after midnight on Sunday, sparking diplomatic outrage from Brazil and The Netherlands which have now recalled their ambassadors.
Indonesia has announced that under new President Joko Widodo no mercy will be shown to those involved in the drug trade - an ominous warning for all prisoners on death row, including two Australian men and British grandmother Lindsay Sandiford.
