As reported by Balidiscovery.com, The Italian Job? , an Italian man filed suit against the Denpasar, Bali Immigration office claiming he was illegally detained and charged by officials on May 22, 2016 during an evening cruise in the Port of Benoa.
During that cruise, 36-year-old Carmine Sciaudone was apprehended by immigration officers while trying to repair a projector during a cruise party and charged with working illegally without the required visa and work permit.
The Italian insisted he was not working and only offered to help repair the equipment due to his background in electronic repairs. Moreover, the Italian claimed he was only a guest on the cruise.
The Italian filed for injunctive relief with the administrative court seeking to have his arrest and incarceration declared illegal. On Monday, August 1, 2016, the Courts rejected the petition filed on Sciaudone’s behalf by his lawyers, declaring his original arrest and detention were legally correct.
As reported by Balipost.com, the administrative judge rules that Carmine Sciaudone’s arrest was in accordance with Law No. 6 of 2011 of the Immigration Rules and Regulations.
Carmine will now proceed to trial for immigration violations where he faces a possible prison term of five years, if found guilty.
