Seven Balinese police officers will go on trial for extortion after an investigation confirmed they received a bribe from a group of Australians apprehended after hiring strippers at a buck's night in Seminyak.

Bali Deputy Police Chief Nyoman Suryasta said firm action would be taken against the officers, who had "damaged the name of Indonesian police, especially Bali police".

He said the punishment for breaking the professional ethics code ranged from being sacked to an apology, and would be decided by the trial judge.

The revelation came just a day after Kuta Police Chief Deddy Januartha denied any of his officers had asked for money. He produced a handwritten statement, apparently signed by the buck's night party, that apologised for the men's actions and said "I did not pay any to for police (sic)".

Fairfax Media reported in June that 16 Australians were apprehended by police after they hired strippers at the February buck's weekend of marketing consultant and former model, Mark Ipaviz in Bali.

You gotta love this: "Bali Deputy Police Chief Nyoman Suryasta said firm action would be taken against the officers, who had "damaged the name of Indonesian police, especially Bali police"."

I mean is that even possible? Do they have a good "name" that can be damaged?

Here is their punishment:

"forced to stand under the hot sun for two hours on the parade ground as punishment for their crimes. "

"Using a word which translates as sun-dried to explain the punishment, police commanders said the officers involved in the extortion were paraded and made to stand in the sun because they were “jerks” and needed to be humiliated for their actions"


Kuta Bali police stand in hot sun for extortion of Melbourne tourists

I am sure they learned their lesson and will never do it again.

Having to wear those long red neckties is humiliating enough...didn't see anyone taking a selfie..:icon_e_biggrin:

IMO there's something fishy about the amount of money extorted...surely anyone of those guys from Australia could show their bank ATM withdrawal in Bali on that day....and can be confirmed by others.

So,what about the police officers standing guard next to these criminals? These guards did nothing, but they, ALSO, have to stand in the hot sun!
