A 34-year-old Italian national was arrested in Bali’s Badung regency for alleged possession of cocaine, following tips to the police from local residents. 

The suspect, FD, was arrested at his villa in North Kuta last Thursday, police said, where they found 94 grams of cocaine stashed inside a wallet that was hidden in a water dispenser.

Indonesian tourism officials appear to be focusing on prepping their Work From Bali initiative, with the latest plan to revive Bali’s tourism industry possibly requiring a quarter of civil servants from seven ministries to participate.

A man in his 40s with a history of high blood pressure was found dead in Denpasar today, a couple of days after he reportedly received a shot of the COVID-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca.
