Schapelle Corby and the Bali 9 - Drug Smuggling

Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode I discuss two drug smuggling cases. First we will cover Schapelle Corby who was caught smuggling marijuana into Bali 2005, resulting in a life sentence. Then the Bali 9, where 9 people were convicted of smuggling heroin out of Indonesia, resulting in two members being put to death by firing squad.
