Manuela Vitoria de Araujo Farias Wiki – Manuela Vitoria de Araujo Farias Biography

A young woman faces a terrifying fate after being accused of drug smuggling in Bali. Manuela Vitoria de Araujo Farias, originally from Brazil, was arrested in the Indonesian province earlier this year after three kilograms of cocaine were reportedly discovered in her possession.

The 19-year-old was reportedly indicted on international drug trafficking charges. Since then, she has been in police custody and prosecutors want her to face firing squad or life in prison if convicted of the alleged crime. She has also been accused of being involved with a drug gang.

But Farias and her lawyer have denied the accusations. The Daily Mail reported that the suspect flew to Bali via Qatar and that the drugs she was apparently carrying went undetected at the other airports before reaching her destination. The teenager’s lawyer, Davi Lira da Silva, has said she was tricked. The lawyer also pointed out that she came to Bali to go to the temples and pray for her sick mother, who suffered a stroke.

Referring to the gang that defrauded Farias, Silva added: “They said that she could pray in the temples to ask for the healing of her mother.” However, it has been reported that even if Farias were to evade death by firing squad, she would still have to go behind bars for life.

This comes as reports say thousands of Australians went to Bali lately after Covid-19 restrictions were lifted. But the Australian government shared various guidelines for its citizens through its Smart Traveler website so that people do not engage in any illegal activities.

The site says: “Certain medications, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications, medical cannabis, cannabis-based oils and creams, hemp-based products, CBD, THC, hashish and edibles are illegal in Indonesia. Severe penalties, including arrest and jail time, can apply even if you have a prescription. Make sure your medicine is legal in Indonesia.”

It notes: “Penalties for drug-related offenses include heavy fines, long prison terms and the death penalty. Police target tourist destinations. Some medicines are illegal in Indonesia. Severe penalties can apply even if you have a prescription.

If you plan to bring over-the-counter or prescription medication, please check if it is legal in Indonesia by contacting the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra well in advance of your planned trip. Take enough legal medication for your trip and take it in its original packaging. Take a copy of your prescription and a letter from your doctor with you stating: what is the medication your required dosage that is for personal use.”

“If you are caught with illegal drugs, you could face arrest, fines or more severe penalties. You could face charges even if an Australian doctor prescribed the drug. Ask the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra for advice,” the site adds.Read More…….
