German and British nationals arrested for alleged Bali drug smuggling
Customs agents found heroin, amphetamine, morphine and diazepam stashed in their luggage and in the underwear they had on
A German man and a British man have been arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle drugs into the Indonesian tourist island of Bali, officials said on Thursday, with one of them possibly facing the death penalty.
The 56-year-old German, identified by his initials SKAR, was arrested on January 26 when he arrived at Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport on a flight from Doha.
Customs agents found heroin, amphetamine, morphine and diazepam stashed in his luggage, and an additional 1.21 grams of heroin stuffed down his underwear, a senior official from Bali immigration said.
“When we inspected his black suitcase we found that the German national had one plastic bag containing brown powder which we suspect was heroin,” Husni Syaiful said.
Authorities also confiscated a small white bottle allegedly containing 2.57 grams of amphetamine, 23 tablets containing morphine and 30 tablets labelled diazepam in a bag belonging to the man, Husni added.
