The district
court in the port city of Semarang, the provincial capital of
Central Java, found Kamran Malik guilty of smuggling 97
kilograms of the drug inside generator sets being imported from
China, Antara said.
Malik, who is also known as Phillip Russel, was arrested in
January with seven others involved in a smuggling ring that
Judge Noor Ali described as "a Pakistani network". The judge
said Malik dealt with the finances.
On Monday, the same court sentenced to death the Pakistani
ringleader, Muhammad Riaz, Antara reported. Another Pakistani in
the group, Faiq Akhtar, was sentenced to life on Tuesday, local
media reported, while five others, all Indonesians, received
lighter sentences.
