FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda An Indonesian fisherman has been sentenced to more than six years’ jail for his second people-smuggling offence.
Niko Selu, 66, was the captain of a boat that left Indonesia in March 2003. The boat was carrying 46 Afghan and Iranian asylum seekers, but was intercepted before it reached Australian shores.
The Supreme Court in Brisbane heard on Monday that Selu, who pleaded guilty to one count of organising the bringing of non-citizens to Australia, was to be paid less than $1200 for the trip.
The kingpins of the people-smuggling ring were believed to have received about $500,000 for arranging passage for the asylum seekers.
The court heard this was the second time Selu, who earned as little as AU$2 per day as a fisherman, had committed this type of offence.
He was sentenced to four years’ jail in the Northern Territory in 2001 after pleading guilty days before the federal government introduced a mandatory minimum five-year term for this charge.
In sentencing Selu on Monday, Justice Peter Lyons said he should have been aware there were high penalties for bringing illegal immigrants to Australia.
He sentenced Selu to six and a half years’ jail, with a non-parole period of three years.
