A Ukrainian man arrested in Thailand and extradited to Indonesia after seven months on the run was convicted of producing illegal drugs on the Indonesian tourist island of Bali and sentenced to life in prison.
Roman Nazarenko, 40, became a suspect after police raided a villa in Bali in May 2024 and found a lab in the basement to grow marijuana and produce a precursor of the synthetic drug ecstasy. As a fugitive listed by Interpol, he was arrested in December at Bangkok’s international airport while he tried to flee to Dubai.
