The Australian man detained at Bali's international airport with four bags of methamphetamine could face the death penalty if convicted of drug smuggling.
Indonesian officials say they found the drugs concealed in the panels of a suitcase brought into Bali by 43-year-old Australian Michael Sacatides.
Anyone caught smuggling more than five grams of methamphetamine faces the death penalty and Mr Sacatides was allegedly caught with 1.7 kilograms of the drug.
He says he knew nothing about the drugs until they were discovered as the case passed through the baggage screening machines at Bali's international airport.
The officers became suspicious when they saw a plastic bag in his luggage as it passed through the X-ray machine.
The head of the investigation has told the ABC when they opened the bag they found the drugs in four plastic bags concealed in the panels of his suitcase.
But Mr Sacatides says he knew nothing about the drugs and borrowed the suitcase from an Indian man in Bangkok, where he has been living for a year and a half, working as a boxing instructor.
"No I didn't bring any drugs - this is news to me," he is heard saying in a recording of the police interview.

Pretty difficult to believe he didn,t know it was there. Rubbish excuse.
If it's true, I don't see how he can prove it.
Looks like it's all over for him bar the cost.

So obvious the guys a carrier with "Pelaku" written across this chest, they should have let him go through and caught the guy waiting to pick him up outside as well.
