Indonesia repatriates two Dutch nationals convicted of drug trafficking
(MENAFN) Indonesia has repatriated two Dutch nationals convicted of drug trafficking following an agreement with the Netherlands, state media reported on Monday.
I Nyoman Gede Surya Mataram, Indonesia’s Deputy Minister for Immigration and Correctional Coordination, said the transfer was the result of intensive coordination between the two countries, according to a state-run news agency.
The repatriation follows a Practical Arrangement agreement reached earlier this month between Indonesia and the Netherlands.
“The governments of Indonesia and the Netherlands have agreed on the repatriation of two Dutch nationals convicted in narcotics cases—Siegfried Mets, sentenced to death, and Ali Tokman, sentenced to life imprisonment,” the deputy minister said.
Mets, 74, had been on death row since 2008 for smuggling 600,000 ecstasy pills, while Tokman was arrested in 2014 at Surabaya’s Juanda International Airport with 6 kilograms of drugs in his baggage and has served 11 years of his life sentence.
