Two British men have been jailed in Indonesia after being found guilty of smuggling cocaine into the holiday island of Bali.
Kial Garth Robinson, 29, of Littlehampton, was sentenced to 11 years in prison, while Piran Ezra Wilkinson, 48, from Chichester, was jailed for nine years.
Both were also ordered to pay a fine of around £45,000 or serve an extra 190 days in prison.
Robinson was arrested last September when customs officers at Ngurah Rai International Airport found two packages containing 1.3kg of cocaine in his backpack.
He told police that he was ordered by a man to transport the drugs from Barcelona, Spain, to Bali and deliver them to Wilkinson – who had arrived a few days earlier, Reuters news agency reported on Thursday.
Wilkinson was arrested in Canggu, on the south coast of Bali, the following day.
Prosecutors said Robinson and Wilkinson were friends who lived in Thailand and had met in Barcelona a week before their arrests.
