The Bali Nine Arrests
In April 2005, nine Australians, known as the Bali Nine, were arrested in Bali while attempting to smuggle eight kilograms of heroin back to Australia. The group was apprehended after the Australian Federal Police provided a tip-off to Indonesian authorities, leading to their arrest at the airport, with some members carrying the drugs on their bodies. The timing of these arrests was significant, occurring just months after the high-profile case of Chappelle Corby, who was caught with marijuana at the same airport, highlighting a troubling trend of drug-related arrests involving Australians in Indonesia. This marked the beginning of a complex legal saga that would unfold over nearly two decades, deeply impacting both Australian and Indonesian relations.
