A 52-YEAR-OLD New Zealander must wait longer for his trial to start in Indonesia on drug charges that carry the death penalty.
ANTONY de Malmanche was due to go on trial in Bali on Tuesday accused of bringing 1.7kg of crystal meth into the country last year.
But the hearing was postponed because there was no translator in court.A four-person defence team in Indonesia will argue de Malmanche wasn't a drug trafficker, but instead was a trafficked person, says his New Zealand lawyer Craig Tuck."We've got a very strong legal case, but we're also aware of the political backdrop," he told AAP.De Malmanche's legal team was to request a short adjournment to get more information, before the case continues one day a week for six months.De Malmanche says he thought he was going on his first overseas trip to meet a woman he met online.Instead, he says he found himself diverted to China at the direction of a man claiming to be the woman's personal assistant.The man gave him a bag and instructions to fly to Bali, where he would finally meet "Jessie".Indonesian President Joko Widodo has said there will be "no compromise" in executing drug offenders sentenced to death, as part of his determination to stop drug crime.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
