2 Thais, 2 Indonesians caught with drugs in Bali face death penalty

Four people arrested recently on drug charges on the Indonesian resort island of Bali face the death penalty, its anti-drugs chief said on Tuesday.

Officers arrested two Thai nationals at the island’s international airport on September 3 for possession of methamphetamine, Ecstasy and crystal MDMA, Bali narcotics agency head Rudy Ahmad Sudrajat told reporters.

“The drugs would be handed over to two Indonesians who ordered it,” he said.

One of the Indonesian nationals was arrested at the same airport on September 8 while a courier, whose nationality was not given, was also arrested.

All four face the death penalty if found guilty, Sudrajat said.
