The Australian Federal Police has defended its cooperation with Indonesia in the case of two drug traffickers. Australians Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan were executed last week. The two men were part of a drug trafficking group known as the Bali Nine. Indonesia sentenced the two to death for their part in a plot to secretly transport the drug heroin from the island of Bali to Sydney in 2005.
The Australian Federal Police has denied accusations that it was partly responsible for their deaths. Officials have said they knew their actions 10 years ago could endanger the Australians, exposing them to the death sentence. They have said they have no reason to apologize for wanting to stop the flow of illegal drugs into Australia.
