Mary Jane was arrested at Adisutjipto Airport, Yogyakarta, in 2010 for carrying a suitcase containing 2.6 kilograms of heroin. The Sleman District Court Panel of Judges then sentenced him to death in October 2010. When he was about to be executed simultaneously in April 2015, a request for a postponement came from the Philippine Government. The postponement was proposed after Maria Cristina Sergio, who initially recruited and promised Mary Jane a job as a domestic helper in Malaysia, surrendered to the Philippine police. Cristina admits to framing Mary Jane as a drug courier.[1]

Chairman of the Indonesian Legal Aid Center (PBHI) Julius Hebrew said that Mary Jane was a victim of a criminal act of human trafficking and was not the main figure of a drug syndicate. According to Julius, the legal system in Indonesia does not provide enough space for Mary Jane to defend herself. When interrogated, Mary Jane was not accompanied by a translator or lawyer. "Her profile alone doesn't allow Mary Jane to have tens of billions in drugs. Even buying a plane ticket can't afford it," said Julius. "I've been accompanying him since 2015. What happened to his family in the Philippines, when I went back and forth to the Philippines. I saw that he couldn't afford to buy basic necessities every day. How can he have tens of billions of rupiah worth of things like that?" continued Julius.[2]

When this article was published, This woman from the Philippines who was sentenced to death in connection with a drug case in Indonesia has returned to her country.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Japan Asks Its Citizens To Write Cellphone Passwords And Applications In Wills

The National Consumer Affairs Center (NCAC), a private body that works with the Japanese government to protect consumer rights, advises Japanese citizens to share some data as "digital inheritance." It is recommended that the data be written down in the inheritance letter to prevent unnecessary use of digital services after they die. This recommendation was conveyed by NCAC, because many residents there tried to cancel subscriptions to services registered by those closest to them, before they died. Meanwhile, to cancel the service, you need a username and password which are usually kept secret from anyone.[1]

Therefore, NCAC advises Japanese citizens to share a number of digital data, including smartphone keys and certain account details, to make it easier to cancel digital services used during their lifetime. In more detail, NCAC recommends that the public take the following four steps:[2]

1. Make sure family members can unlock your smartphone or computer in case of an emergency.
2. Save your subscription list, user ID, and password. 
3. Consider entering those details into a document that can be accessed when you take your last breath. 
4. Use a service that allows you to designate someone to have access to your smartphone and other accounts after you die.

It is recommended that this recommendation be carried out now, considering that the process of completing the administration if the person concerned is gone takes quite a long time. Moreover, with the large number of smartphones used by each person, it can increase the complexity of completing the administration of each subscription service, as well as draining the credit card used for the subscription. Apart from making it easier to manage digital heritage, this recommendation is also considered to reduce the burden on data centers which ultimately minimizes environmental damage due to storage in the cloud.[3]

In Japan, the "Dead Man's Switch" application is available which allows users to determine which contacts can be contacted when they are detected as being inactive for a long time or are indicated to be dead.  Several digital platforms such as 'Meta' also provide a feature to close the accounts of deceased users, including on Facebook. Additionally, users can include legal contacts or heirs to manage the account when they die. Apple also has a similar feature, namely 'Legacy Contact', which allows users to assign someone to access their iCloud account data after they die. Unfortunately, not all platforms accommodate this feature. Apart from that, managing accounts will also be easier if you use a directly related account.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

The founder of a Singapore oil trading company, Lim Oon Kuin, faced charges. Lim Oon Kuin was charged with defrauding HSBC bank out of millions of dollars. Lim Oon Kuin has been involved in the law since last May. He is considered to have damaged Singapore's reputation as a leading oil trading center in Asia. He owned a company called Hin Leong Trading, the largest oil trading company in Asia, before it collapsed in 2020. District Court Judge Toh Han Li is scheduled to sentence Lim today. Prosecutors demanded that Lim be sentenced to 20 years in prison.[1]

"This is one of the most serious cases of trade finance fraud ever prosecuted in Singapore," said the Public Prosecutor. Lim faced a total of 130 criminal charges involving hundreds of millions of dollars, but prosecutors tried and convicted him on only three counts. The second was charged with defrauding banking giant HSBC and the third for encouraging a Hin Leong executive to falsify documents. Prosecutors also said he tricked HSBC into disbursing almost US$ 112 million or the equivalent of IDR 1.7 trillion (exchange rate Rp. 15,850). The defendant told the bank that his company had signed oil sales contracts with two companies.[2]

"This transaction was actually a fabrication, made at the behest of the defendant. This seriously tarnishes Singapore's hard-earned reputation as a leading oil trading center in Asia," emphasized the prosecutor. As an additional information, Lim is now 83 years old. He founded the company in 1965. The company played a key role in helping Singapore become a leading ship refueling port in the world. However, this collapsed in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic plunged the oil market into unprecedented chaos.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Because of Criticizing Animal Care Centers, An Irish Tourist Arrested In Dubai

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "TEOFL Requirements for Civil Servant Candidate Tests Challenged to the Indonesia Constitutional Court", "Massachusetts Court Jurisprudence: Wedding Ring Must Be Returned If Marriage is Void", you may read also "Amazing, Public Road Transformed Into Garage" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Because of Criticizing Animal Care Centers, An Irish Tourist Arrested In Dubai'.

An Irish tourist didn't expect his holiday to end in disaster. It all started with online criticism of dog grooming companies. Craig Ballentine (33) worked as a dog groomer in Dubai for six months. She was having difficulty at work and left a negative online review about the treatment center and its experience. He then went on holiday to Abu Dhabi. However, when he arrived there, he was arrested by the authorities. A Detained in Dubai campaign group said that Ballentine faced prison time due to the UAE's cybercrime laws. Yes, the practice of online criticism is a cyber crime in the UAE.[1]

"Craig has been told by local lawyers that there is virtually no chance of the case against him being dropped," said Radha Stirling, a member of the organization. "The recently enacted cybercrime law in the UAE is a nightmare for foreigners. It is enough for a whistleblower to simply tell the police that someone posted something offensive or abusive," he said. Stirling said that Ballentine's parents were so worried that she didn't dare to give the news. Stirling even asked Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill to send a statement on his behalf. "Craig needs to go home and get to work. It's appalling that the authorities would allow such a frivolous crime report to ensnare visitors in the system," he said.[2]

"We have contacted Craig's local representative, Michelle O'Neill, to ask her to make a diplomatic statement to the UAE ambassador and the FCDO." Previously, the same case happened to Tori Towey. He was finally free after receiving help from O'Neill. "We hope he can help in the same way Ireland helped Tori Towey come home," he concluded.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
