Indonesia sentences Ukrainian to life for producing drugs
Gulf Today
|September 19, 2025
A Ukrainian man arrested in Thailand and extradited to Indonesia after seven months on the run was convicted on Thursday of producing illegal drugs on the Indonesian tourist island of Bali and sentenced to life in prison.
-
Roman Nazarenko, 40, became a suspect after police raided a villa in Bali in May 2024 and found a lab in the basement to grow marijuana and produce a precursor of the synthetic drug ecstasy. As a fugitive listed by Interpol, he was arrested in December at Bangkok's international airport while he tried to flee to Dubai.
Nazarenko, who argued during the trial that he was tricked into joining the drug ring but who prosecutors said was one of the masterminds, sat silently as a panel of three judges at Denpasar District Court handed down the verdict Thursday.
