Bugie Kurniawan, head of the workplace, mentioned the arrest served as a message that the Indonesian island “will never be a safe haven for international fugitives”.
And Felucia Sengky Ratna, head of the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Immigration Bali, mentioned: “This achievement demonstrates that immigration surveillance in Bali is effective, integrated, and responsive to transnational threats.”
After being stopped within the worldwide arrivals space, Lyons – who was sporting a t-shirt, shorts and carrying a rucksack – was handed over to I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport Area Resort Police.
He is at present being held on the airport’s detention centre.
On Saturday, a Police Scotland spokesperson mentioned: “We are aware of the arrest of a Scottish nominal in Bali and we are working closely with European partners.”
It is known the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has not been approached by Lyons or anybody linked to him.
