If the 32-year-old elder who appeared for the first time since his arrest on Thursday, the firing squad could be sentenced to death penalty-reserved for bad offenders.
Parker was paraded in front of the press in Denpass, the capital of Bali on Thursday, with his head head and wore orange jumpsuit and cuff.
He appeared with others on charges of drug crime.
Indonesia is considered to be zero tolerance for drug offenses and can use a death penalty in a dose of five grams.
Anything below that amount is educated between five to 15 years in sentence.
On January 21, Parker was cold outside AirBNB, when Cops “acting suspiciously” when receiving a package from a motorcycle taxi driver.
As the officials proceeded, Brit allegedly panicked and fled, throwing the package while running.
But he was tracked in 7 sea villa in the Northern Kuta, brought to custody, showed the package, and allegedly admitted that he collected the same.
Police say the forensic test had a light-brown powder MDMA inside the package.
Other evidence presented in sealed plastic bags includes mobile phones obtained by the police.
The accused drug dealer has been accused of importing, trafficking and drug possession.
Under Indonesia’s law, if found guilty, it can withstand death penalty because it is accused of numerous drug crimes and packages contained within the five-gram limit.
Brigadier General Rudy said: “After search and arrest, Thomas and evidence were taken to the National Narcotics Agency of Bali province for investigation.”
The head of the Narcotics Agency claimed that Parker is a member of the Hungary -based international drug dealer organization.
He said: “After flying from Thailand, he was ordered to withdraw the package in Bali.
“Parcel contains MDMA that is illegal and disciplinary by death.”
But it is unlikely that he will get the final sentence, as the police wants Parker to cooperate in hunting the package Kingpin in exchange for a low sentence.
Also, there has been international pressure on Indonesia’s death penalty that has seen the country more relaxed in recent months.
In December, the final five members of Bali Nine – who were convicted of trying to smuggle 8.3kg of heroin outside Indonesia in April 2005 – were released from prison and went back to Australia Stralia.
Parker will be behind the jail as the investigation is underway.
Last month, in Bali, a group of British was given a smiling photo of a cocaine accused of smuggling cocaine worth 000 300,000, as they were paraded by cops despite facing death penalties.
