The New Zealander facing trial for allegedly smuggling meth into Bali will get a T.O. for one week, because of health issues.
Antony de Malmanche collapsed in court last week. While some thought he was faking his sickness to gain the sympathy card, the Kiwi says he has a history of the heart condition angina and wants a thorough examination, reports the AAP.
De Malmanche was stopped in Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport in December 2014 and arrested for being in possession of 1.7 kilograms of meth. However, he claims he did not know he was carrying the drugs and said they were in a package he was supposed to deliver to the woman he had been dating online.
Witness hearings were reportedly adjourned earlier today by Chief Judge Cening Budiana, who cited de Malmanche’s weak condition last week as the reason and then asked prosecutors to bring the results of the Kiwi’s examination to court next Thursday.
In other de Malmanche news, the alleged drug smuggler’s son Shaun de Malmanche made it to his father’s trial for the first time today after recently touching down in Bali to offer his support.
