Brazilian Manuela Vitória de Araújo Farias, arrested in Indonesia with cocaine last year, escaped the death penalty. She was sentenced to 11 years in prison and a fine of more than R$300,000. Lawyer Davi Lira da Silva, who represents the young woman’s family in Brazil, said that if the fine is not paid, two more years will be added. to pity. He said the worst is over. “The defense even expected a lesser sentence, of 8 years. But my Indonesian colleagues, the terms they used after the sentence, is that it was a miracle. We know that due to the severity of the penal system in that country, it really was a great victory . This week, there was a Brazilian who was drunk and it seems to me that he left the hotel naked. He was summarily 30 lashes. 30 lashes the guy is half-dead. Just so you understand the severity of that country”. The lawyer reported that upon arriving at the airport in Bali, Indonesia, Manoela was arrested with almost three kilos of cocaine in her luggage. The arrest took place on December 31 of last year. She was used as a “mule” by criminals, still at the Santa Catarina airport, before boarding for Bali. In 2015, 53-year-old Marco Archer Cardoso Moreira from Rio de Janeiro was executed in Indonesia for drug trafficking, becoming the first Brazilian sentenced to death abroad.
