DENPASAR, Indonesia: Australian businessman was Tuesday handed a seven-month jail term for using hashish on the Indonesian resort island of Bali. The 49-year-old, who ran a bar on Bali, was detained for using hashish on the island with British former war correspondent David Fox, 55. Fox was handed the same jail sentence last week, and is also set to be released in May. Serafino told his trial that he had been using hashish for nine years to help alleviate the symptoms of mouth cancer. Fox argued during his trial that he used hashish to relieve post-traumatic stress disorder that he developed while covering numerous conflicts.
