Prosecutors say two Australian men wanted by NSW police and an Australian pilot were detained in Indonesia for about six months, after an alleged smuggling operation involving tobacco linked to South Papua. The three men are described as being part of a group suspected of running a tobacco trade that prosecutors claim played a role in the wider case involving fugitives. All reports say the detainees are in custody in Indonesia and that the matter is being pursued by prosecutors as part of an investigation connected to the NSW warrants. The outlets agree that the case involves cross-border allegations, with the men reportedly located outside Australia and held in Indonesia while authorities consider legal steps and evidence. The accounts also align on the timeframe of detention and the broad nature of the accusations, focusing on prosecutors’ claims that the fugitives were involved in tobacco-related smuggling. The reports do not provide additional details such as the men’s names, the precise charges, or whether any trial or extradition process has started.
