An Indonesian court on Thursday sentenced an Argentine woman and four British nationals to prison in two cases, after they were found guilty of smuggling cocaine into the popular resort island of Bali.
Indonesia has some of the world’s toughest anti-drug laws, including the death penalty for traffickers, but has maintained a moratorium on executions for several years.
Argentine Eleonora Gracia was sentenced to seven years in prison, presiding judge Tenny Erma Suryanthi told the Denpasar district court in Bali.
Gracia, 46, was arrested at the island’s international airport in March with more than 244 grams of cocaine wrapped in a condom and hidden inside her genitals, local media reported, citing authorities at the airport.
