Timeline

1983

TAN Duc Thanh Nguyen (Tân Đức Thanh Nguyễn; 30 October 1983 – 9 May 2018) was a Vietnamese–Australian citizen.

He was convicted in Indonesia for drug trafficking as a member of the Bali Nine.

2004

This attempt in December 2004 involved Lawrence, Andrew Chan, Matthew Norman and others.

The delivery was aborted when heroin suppliers failed to deliver "due to a financial matter or someone knowing about the plan the shipment was cancelled".

Further media reports, again based on court testimonies, claim that Nguyen met Michael Czugaj and Scott Rush (both Brisbane school friends) in a pub in Fortitude Valley where Nguyen reportedly offered Rush and Czugaj an all-expenses-paid trip to Bali.

2005

In 2005, Nguyen was arrested in a room at the Melasti Hotel in Kuta together with three others.

Police uncovered 334 g of heroin in a suitcase in the room.

Arriving in Bali on or about 8 April 2005, Rush and Czugaj met co-ringleaders Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan at the Hard Rock Hotel, and also Renae Lawrence and Martin Stephens.

On 14 April, Norman, Si Yi Chen, Lawrence and Stephens checked into Adhi Dharma hotel in Bali, with Nguyen arriving in the same hotel two days later.

In the evening of Sunday 17 April, acting like tourists, Nguyen, Norman, and Chen checked into the Melasti Hotel.

Myuran Sukumaran, who was also with them, with his bags, left them with the others as he decided to go to the Hard Rock Hotel complex.

All were later convicted of drug trafficking as fellow members of the Bali Nine.

Approximately 20 minutes after checking in, Nguyen was arrested at the Melasti Hotel in Kuta on 17 April 2005 with Matthew Norman, Myuran Sukumaran and Si Yi Chen.

Indonesian police claim the group were in possession of 334 g of heroin and bundles of plastic wrapping, Elastoplast tape, and a set of scales, indicating involvement in a plan to transport drugs to Australia.

Earlier that day at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, Indonesian police also arrested the following drug mules after they were found carrying various amounts of heroin concealed on their bodies.

Martin Stephens was found to be carrying 3.3 kg; Renae Lawrence was found to be carrying 2.689 kg; Michael Czugaj was found to be carrying 1.75 kg and Scott Rush was found to be carrying 1.3 kg of heroin.

Co-ringleader Andrew Chan was also arrested the same day while seated on an Australian Airlines flight waiting to depart Denpasar for Sydney.

At the time of his arrest, Chan was carrying three mobile phones and a boarding pass.

No drugs were found in his possession.

Lee Rush, the father of Scott Rush, a fellow member of the Bali Nine, said that he contacted the Australian Federal Police (AFP) prior to the commission of the offence, fearing his son was travelling to Bali and would commit a drug-related crime.

Rush senior claims then to have received assurances from the AFP that they would tell his son he was under surveillance to dissuade him from going through with the crime before the group's departure from Indonesia.

Scott Rush's lawyers said he was never contacted.

It was revealed that the AFP alerted Indonesian police that a crime was to be committed approximately two weeks before the arrests, and had commenced an investigation about ten weeks prior to the arrests.

When the Bali Nine were arrested, the news of the tipoff became public and there was criticism of the role of the AFP in protecting the interests of Australian citizens.

Commenting on the matter at the time, AFP Commissioner Mick Keelty was reported as saying:

Rush took action in the Federal Court of Australia against the AFP for breach of the bilateral treaty between Indonesia and Australia when information was handed by the AFP to the Indonesians.

Rush's case claimed that such information should only be released by the Attorney-General.

However, the Commonwealth Government maintained that the treaty only applies after a suspect is charged.

Criminal trials for the accused commenced in the Denpasar District Court on 11 October 2005.

Chen, Nguyen, and Norman, all arrested at the Melasti Hotel and earning the epithet, The Melasti Three, were tried together, with the remaining six defendants tried separately.

In December 2005, it was reported that tensions were building between the Bali Nine drug mules and Sukumaran and Chan.

Several days later, lawyers acting for some members of the Bali Nine initially sought the support of the Director of Public Prosecutions to intervene and lay charges for conspiracy to import drugs, so that the nine could be extradited and charged under Australian law.

However, the judges hearing the trial matters in Bali called on Australia not to interfere in Indonesia's right to impose capital punishment;.

2006

After a criminal trial, on 15 February 2006 Nguyen was sentenced to life imprisonment.

His appeal to the Indonesian Supreme Court to have the sentence reduced suffered a shock when the Supreme Court imposed the death penalty on 6 September 2006.

A subsequent appeal to the Indonesian Supreme Court, following a full confession by Nguyen of his role in the plan to import heroin from Bali to Australia, resulted in the original sentence of life imprisonment being reinstated.

Some media reports claimed Nguyen was believed to be a financer of the smuggling plan.

The application was dismissed by the Federal Court in January 2006.

2018

An Indonesian justice ministry official announced on 5 June 2018 that Nguyen had died of stomach cancer on 9 May.

Media reports based on the testimony of co-conspirator, Renae Lawrence, claim that Nguyen (going by the alias of David), from Wellington Point in Brisbane, Queensland, had arranged an earlier attempt at trafficking from Indonesia to Australia.
