Australia has announced that the five remaining members of the Bali Nine drug gang have returned home after nearly 20 years in Indonesian prisons.
“I am pleased to confirm that Australian citizens Si Yi Chen, Michael Chugai, Matthew Norman, Scott Rush and Martin Stevens have returned to Australia this afternoon,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese wrote on social media.
He thanked Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto “for his sympathy.”
This high-profile case began in 2005 when Indonesia arrested nine young Australians who were trying to smuggle 8.3 kg of heroin out of Bali.
