3 foreigners arrested in July 2018 for bringing drugs into Bali
July was a hot month this year for
foreigners trying (and failing) to
smuggle drugs into Bali.
Three foreigners were arrested in Bali
for three separate cases of bringing
drugs onto the island over the course of
July 2018, including a Dutchman, a
Chilean national, and a British citizen.
Head of the regional office of Customs
and Excise Syarif Hidayat laid out the
three cases for the media at a press
conference in Bali on Wednesday.
The first arrest was made when
Dutchman Barth Hafkam, 24, landed in
Denpasar from Kuala Lumpur on July 1.
An x-ray examination led customs
officers to uncover seven gray square
tablets, weighing 2.63 grams. The
tablets were found to contain MDMA.
Then on, July 12, customs officers
arrested 34-year-old Chilean national,
Victor Ortegarocha, according to
Hidayat.
“The Chilean perpetrator is an architect.
The person in question came in from
Kuala Lumpur,” Hidayat said, as quoted
by Suara.
As with the Dutchman, an x-ray
examination piqued customs officers’
suspicions. In the Chilean’s backpack, a
package with the label “The Bulldog
Seeds” was found to contain three
grams of cannabis seeds (five seeds
total) and a brochure that read
“blueberry 420”, Hidayat said.
Then finally, a British photographer,
Zaid Thanoon, 26, was arrested on July
13 when flying in to Bali from Bangkok.
After passing through the x-ray,
customs continued to thoroughly
examine Thanoon. Inside a package of
cigarettes, officers uncovered pieces of
tobacco and a plastic encasing
containing 3.55 grams of marijuana.
At the press conference on Wednesday,
only the Chilean and British
perpetrators were paraded in
balaclavas by Indonesian police.
“For the Dutch citizen, his case is still
be investigated by the Bali Regional
Police,” Hidayat said.
Meanwhile, the Chilean and British men
have been handed over to the National
Narcotics Agency (BNN) Bali Province
division.
BNN Bali investigator Insp. Anak Agung
Ngurah Parwata says the three
foreigners are subject to charges under
Indonesia’s anti-narcotics law that carry
a minimum sentence of five years and
maximum penalty of 15 years, with a
minimum fine of IDR1 billion (US$69k)
and a max of IDR10 billion (US$690k).

NEW IN THE GU: MISSIBU BALI

fresh local spices and served with
salted caramel, coconut ice cream &
candy nuts. This Melbourne-Style
eatery also cooks up some mean café
fare, fusing your daily faves with locally
sourced island flavours.
Think caramelised banana pancake
stack with coconut sorbet and Bedugul
organic raspberry, or a local toastie with
smoked ham, local mozzarella, house
sambal and quail egg. It’s a seriously
delicious mix-up of East meets West,
and we are seriously LOVING IT!
“Kim Kardashian Booty” (if you dare!).
We also spied an impressive imports
list, featuring a French Rosé, a Cali Sav
Blanc and a Malborough NZ Pinot Noir.
Take your tastebuds on a trip around
the globe with an Imported Beef
Rendang, paired with a South
Australian Pinot Grigio, and you can
leave your passport at home.
Fancy a quick shop between sips?
Sneak in and meet the new neighbours,
with a strip of newly opened fashion
boutiques beckoning you (and your
rupiahs!).

What do you get when you mix
traditional Indonesian flavour, with a
new age Australian flair? Missibu Bali –
Canggu’s freshest foodie hangout. A
café after my own heart, MissIbu takes
time honoured traditional dishes, and
elevates them to a modern epicurean
standard. Think Indo classics like a
Nasi or Mie Goreng, cooked sans MSG
or palm oil, and served with sticky
grilled pineapple, chicken satay and
free range egg. Or the typical Indo
Pisang Goreng (fried banana), cooked
in healthy coconut oils, dusted with
Taking position front & centre of the
brand spanking new Tamora Gallery

from early AM until late in the evening,
MissIbu is a spot where you can come
and get fired up on their single origin
beans, tuck into a power-fueling feed,
and open your laptop on their co-work
welcoming communal table. Still
tapping away as the sun goes down?
Get those creative juices flowing as you
sip on a Balinese Negroni, a Hidden
Dragon Mojito, or a coconut espresso
martini. Vibing with the crew around
you? Invite your peers to a punch party,
with one and two litre fishbowl
cocktails, or the mega XXL three litre
It’s family-friendly, it’s co-worker
conducive, it’s an all-day affair, and
finally a café that caters to the mixed
marriages among us. When Mr Chicken

and Brioche French toast, I can send
him directly to the “rice rice baby”
section where he can Nasi to his hearts
content.
A genius concept.. Permisi MissIbu,
