Thread: Australian accountant nabbed in Bali with meth and ecstasy

Well he's going to have a Merry Christmas...

An Australian accountant could be sentenced to death after he was arrested in Bali, allegedly caught with 19.97grams of crystal methamphetamine in his suitcase.


Pictures surfaced on Tuesday showing Isaac Emmanuel Roberts sitting in a media conference wearing orange prisoner garb and a black balaclava over his head.


He was pictured beside two other suspects guarded by police officers who wore balaclavas and carried rifles.


The 35-year-old Australian man was reportedly arrested after officials found the drugs in his luggage on December 4 this year.


Roberts was allegedly found with 6.22 grams of ecstasy, 14.32 grams of methamphetamine and 22 mils of a psychotropic substance,The Herald Sun reported.


Details of his arrest were kept secret until Tuesday, when the drug bust was announced by Indonesian officials.


'We have arrested an Australian, IER, for bringing drugs into Bali,' Customs and Excise Officer Husni Syaiful said.


Roberts reportedly arrived in Bali on a Thai Airways flight from Bangkok on December 4.


The drugs were allegedly discovered when his luggage was X-rayed.


Indonesia carries the maximum death penalty for drug importation crimes.


Speaking to media after the conference, Mr Roberts reportedly said he was invited to Indonesia, and 'they knew I was going to bring something'.


'I'm just a f*****g addict. They want to waste resources on addicts, they want to punish addicts? This is ridiculous. What about the f…..g importers? I wasn't going to sell it to anyone here, no one was going to use it here. This is ridiculous. This is an embarrassment,' he told Fairfax.

"I'm just a f**king addict." Famous last words.

Why bother taking a holiday. Just stay in Oz with your fellow addicts.

Oh, he's an accountant. Yup, figured he could save AU$ 1,000 retail in BKK...but fookin' forgot the cost of airfare, hotel and tuk-tuk squelched that. Oh well.

Now he'll be withdrawing tough-love style behind bars bending over for soap just to get a hit.
Merry Christmas. So sad.

They named him correctly. Bet hes come back down to earth now

"he was a 'f***ing idiot'"
