Bali bans Dutch expats over alleged exclusion of Indonesians from run club

Two men have been charged with violating immigration regulations after authorities alleged that they gave preferential treatment to foreign participants in a series of events they organized. Prosecutors say the men deliberately favored non‑citizen attendees, thereby breaching statutory requirements that govern the admission and participation of foreign nationals in public gatherings.

The investigation, conducted by the immigration enforcement unit, indicates that the accused may have failed to secure the necessary permits and work authorizations for the foreign individuals involved. If convicted, the men face penalties that could include fines and possible imprisonment, underscoring the government's commitment to enforcing immigration compliance in event management.
