Скачать или смотреть Prosecution maintains demand for 16 year sentence for British woman

(15 Jan 2014) A British woman charged with trafficking illegal drugs in Indonesia, appeared in court again on Wednesday.
Andrea Waldeck, 43, who faces a possible 16 year prison sentence, was arrested in April 2013 after authorities allegedly found 1,472 grams (52 ounces) of crystal methamphetamine in her Surabaya hotel room.
While the case prosecutor continues demand a 16-year prison sentence for Waldeck, her lawyer asked for leniency last week saying she was threatened into bringing the drugs into Indonesia.
Waldeck, a teacher from southern England, told authorities that she was asked by her boyfriend, who lives in China, to take the drugs to a man in Indonesia.
Prosecutor Dedy Agus Octaviano said Waldeck's confession proved she violated Indonesia's law, and therefore 16 years in prison would be an adequate sentence.
The prosecution did not ask for the death penalty to be imposed.
