Three British nationals could face death by firing squad for allegedly smuggling cocaine into Indonesia (2.19 pounds)

Three British nationals could face death by a firing squad after they allegedly smuggled about a kilogram – over two pounds – of cocaine onto the island of Bali in Indonesia.

The Associated Press reported that prosecutor I Made Dipa Umbara said 28-year-old Jonathan Christopher Collyer and 29-year-old Lisa Ellen Stocker were arrested Feb. 1, after customs officers stopped them at the X-ray machine when they found suspicious items disguised as food packages inside their luggage.

Umbara told the District Court in Denpasar during a court hearing on Tuesday that a lab test result confirmed 10 pouches of "Angel Delight" powdered dessert mix in Collyer’s luggage, along with seven similar pouches in Stocker’s suitcase contained 993.56 grams, or 2.19 pounds, of cocaine, worth about 6 billion rupiah ($368,000).

Two days after Collyer and Stocker were arrested, police arrested 31-year-old Phineas Ambrose Float after a delivery sting set up by law enforcement that involved the other two suspects handing the drug to him in the parking lot of a hotel in Denpasar.

Float is being tried separately, according to Umbara.

The cocaine was transported from England to Indonesia by way of the Doha International Airport in Qatar, Umbara explained.

Their country, their laws. Don’t like it, don’t go there. If you go there and think you’re smarter than them, FAFO.

Apparently the coke was in packets labeled as desert mix.....yeah ..10 packets of desert mix for one smuggler, and 7 packs or so, for the other smuggler...guess lots of people carry multiple packs of desert mix with them ....
Indonesia has lots of people on death row who haven’t been executed yet...per the link.

I do not feel sorry for them.

If our nation had tough laws like this for trafficers, sellers and users there would be no problem at all. The Mexican cartels would have to find another way to make money.
