A French drug smuggler has been sentenced to death by firing squad for bringing a haul of meth and ecstasy into Indonesia.
Felix Dorfin, 35, was sentenced to death by a panel of three judges even though the prosecution only sought a 20-year sentence at Mataram District Court on the island of Lombok, next to Bali, on Monday.
Dorfin, from Bethune in northern France, was arrested when he was found with nearly three kilograms o methamphetamine worth $220,600 and 22 ecstasy pills in his suitcase at Lombok Airport in September 2018.
He went on the run for ten days after he escaped jail with the alleged help of a female police officer before being captured at a forested mountain on Lombok island in January.
