DOC Immigration Bali

Bali Immigration deported a woman from Russia with the initials TG (38), a former marijuana drug convict.

Head of Immigration Detention Center (Rudenim) Denpasar, Bali, Babay Baenullah said the foreigner violated Article 75 Paragraph (1) of Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration.

"Immigration has the authority to carry out immigration administrative actions against foreigners who are in Indonesian territory, who carry out dangerous activities and should be suspected of endangering security and public order or not respecting or disobeying statutory regulations," Babay said, Friday, October 6.

This Russian foreigner was arrested on March 28, 2022 by BNN Bali officers for possession of marijuana.

This foreigner was also prosecuted until he was jailed for 1.5 years. On August 17, 2023, this Russian foreigner was released from the Gianyar Detention Center.

"And then it was handed over to the Immigration Office Class I TPI Denpasar for action in accordance with immigration provisions. However, because the deportation process cannot be carried out immediately and the passport has expired, the Denpasar Kanim handed over the person concerned to the Denpasar Rudenim on the same day for detention and further deportation is sought," said Babay.

After being detained or secured for 51 days, Immigration coordinated with the Russian Federal Embassy for deportation.

The foreigner was deported through Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport on Friday (6/10) to the end of Sheremetyevo International Airport Alexander S. Pushkin - Moscow, Russia.
