POLICE have been told by senior prosecutors this morning that they have completed their initial investigation and will proceed with charges against the 14-year-old Australian schoolboy who was busted for allegedly buying marijuana in Bali.
The P21 letter was dated October 20 and signed as complete by the three prosecutors handling the case last night, as previously reported by The Daily Telegraph.
The police will now collect the document from the prosecutions office.
A spokesman told The Daily Telegraph that the prosecution team had now entered “stage two of the charging process”, which includes the co-ordination between investigators and the prosecutors to hand over the suspect and other evidence.
The Morisset Park teenager is expected to be charged with an offence that could see him facing up to six years in a Balinese prison.
A total of three charges are expected to be laid but could later be dropped as the case proceeds to trial.
The boy’s lawyer Mohammad Rifan has said he wants to keep his client out of the notorious Kerobokan prison but the prosecutor’s office has maintained its position that the boy must be processed at the Denpasar jail.
He was arrested on October 4 when he allegedly bought a small amount of marijuana in Kuta while he was holidaying in Bali with his parents.
His lawyers remain hopeful the court will opt for the lesser charge, under which he’ll avoid jail and go to rehab.
The boy could be moved to Kerobokan as early as Monday.
Earlier this week, sources told News Limited sources prosecutors would charge the boy with the the tough Article 127 penalty instead of Article 128 – which would have allowed him to leave and undergo rehabilitation classes.
“They (prosecutors) need to make sure it doesn’t look like they’re letting him off without any penalty,” a source said of the case against the Morisset Park teen.
Sources say the boy’s lawyer is set to follow a legal defence used by Victorian man Ricky Rawson.
Mr Rawson faced a Bali court last month when he was charged with violating Article 127 after being arrested with 0.06g of methamphetamine.
In Mr Rawson’s case, he pleaded that he used the drug for depression, had never had a previous conviction and was apologetic for his actions.
The judge took into account the jail time he had already served waiting for the court date and ordered his release without a rehabilitation order.
Mr Rifan, who has met with the prosecutors, has obtained a psychiatrist’s report and medical records as part of his defence strategy.
There have also been reports that the 14-year-old’s urine sample has come back negative.
The police drug unit, which had asked for an extension of time to hold the boy, has been handed a November 3 deadline to move him.
