Chilean Couple Arrested in Bali for Cocaine Smuggling, Face Death Penalty

Two Chilean nationals were arrested at Bali's Ngurah Rai airport for allegedly smuggling 4.5 kg of cocaine, a crime punishable by life imprisonment or death under Indonesian law. The arrest is a routine enforcement action, but the severity of potential penalties highlights Indonesia's strict anti-drug stance. The case is at an early stage; the couple's legal status and any diplomatic implications remain unclear.
