Police complete Aussies' case files

DENPASAR, Bali: Bali Police completed case files on Monday of nine Australian citizens apprehended while attempting to smuggle a total of 8.3 kilograms of heroin out of Bali into Australia in April this year.

According to director of Bali Police Narcotic Unit, Adj. Sr. Comr. Bambang Sugiharto, the case files of the largest number of foreigners ever arrested in a single drug bust on the island were submitted to Denpasar District Court along with the evidence.

"There are those whose case files are combined but there are also those whose case files are individual, depending on their role in the case," he said.

All suspects could face the death sentence if found guilty on charges of trafficking heroin. -- JP
