The high-profile case began in 2005 when Indonesia caught nine young Australians trying to smuggle 8.3kg (18lb) of heroin out of Bali strapped to their bodies. The eight men and one woman were arrested at an airport and hotel in Bali after a tip-off from Australian police.

Five Australian men arrested when they were aged between 18 and 28 trying to smuggle heroin out of Indonesia have been freed.

The five remaining members of the so-called Bali Nine drug-smuggling ring have returned to Australia after serving nearly two decades in Indonesian prisons.
