    Two Thais and a Frenchman face FIRING SQUAD in Bali

    Two Thais and a Frenchman face FIRING SQUAD in Bali


    Russian beautician Tatiana Firsova allegedly tried to smuggle 6.6 grams of cocaine into the Indonesian holiday island of Bali


    Two #Thai women and a Frenchman could face the #firingsquad after they were caught smuggling drugs into #Bali, the Indonesian holiday island’s customs agency said Monday.

    The Thai nationals — identified as Kasarin Khamkhao and Sanicha Maneetes — arrived last week on a flight from Bangkok and suspicious airport officials found nearly a kilogram of methamphetamine hidden under their clothes, authorities said.

    “A lab test confirmed all the packages contained methamphetamine weighing 958 grams in total,” Himawan Indarjono, head of immigration at Bali’s international airport, told reporters Monday.
    The pair — a janitor and an operator of a motorcycle rental shop in Thailand — could face a firing squad if convicted in the Muslim majority nation, which has some of the world’s toughest drug laws.
    Separately, Frenchman Olivier Jover was arrested in Bali after a package sent from his home country containing some 22.5 grams of cocaine arrived at the airport with his address on it, according to authorities.

    He faces a long jail term or the death penalty, authorities said.
    Russian beautician Tatiana Firsova, who allegedly tried to smuggle in 6.6 grams of cocaine, was arrested after arriving in Bali on a flight from Doha last week. She faces up to 15 years if convicted.

    The four suspects, wearing orange prison jumpsuits, were paraded together in front of reporters Monday — a common practice in Indonesia.
    The arrests come as two Thai men were sentenced last week to 16 years in prison each after they were found guilty of smuggling one kilogram of methamphetamine that they had swallowed.
    While death sentences are often reduced to long jail terms, Indonesia has executed foreign nationals in the past, including two Australian masterminds of the Bali Nine heroin gang who were shot in 2015.

    So did he go to collect it, or did they follow it to his address, or do you simply mail a few grams to the address of a person you don't like.

    I've heard a similar story from a guy who got sent a joint with a birthday card in the mail many years ago. His house got raided but he was not guilty as he was a lazy, stoner fok and when the mail arrived he left it on the kitchen table and didn't bother to open it. So I would guess receiving drugs in the mail is not an offense until you open it, thereby you 'receipt' the goods
    Some people think it don't, but it be.

    What is the penalty for drugs in Thailand?



    For Category 1 Substances:


    Up to life imprisonment and a fine of 100,000 – 5,000,000 Baht, or the death penalty, (depending upon the amount of the substance or substances found) for disposal or possession for the purpose of disposal. Up to 10 years imprisonment or a fine of 20,000 – 200,000 Baht for possession.

    I think it fairly common knowledge that the draconian punishments dispensed by the courts in Bali can be mitigated by contributions to the judge.

    Essentially, if you are nicked and are without resources you are certainly fucked but those with property and funds will escape with shortish prison sentences that earn an early parole.

    Its very hit and miss. Not as easy as you are implying.
