TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Immigration officials of the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport detained an Australian citizen, who goes by the initial BD who had just arrived from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on AirAsia flight number QZ201 on Monday, October 17, 2016.
BD was not allowed to enter Indonesian territory because of his status as an ex-convict of sexual crime against children.
"BD was arrested when he attempted to enter Indonesia around 06:25 PM Western Indonesia Time," said Heru Santoso, spokesman of the Directorate General of Immigration on Monday, October 17, 2016.
Heru said that BD was listed in the immigration office’s blacklist. Australian police had also informed about BD's arrival and his status to Indonesian authorities.
Immigration officials then coordinated with AirAsia to deport BD. The flight intended to bring BD back to his home country is scheduled to take place today, October 18, 2016.
