Officers rushed on board the plane after the pilot was ordered to return from the runway to the VIP Terminal at Bali’s Denpasar airport on June 6.
Immigration officials had become suspicious of a man travelling on a Brazilian passport with no record of entry to Indonesia or a valid residence permit for the country.
The man and three other foreign passengers and three crew members were ready to depart from Bali’s capital for Maputo in Mozambique when the pilot received a call to stay on the tarmac.
Officials found three passengers in the cabin and their suspect hiding in the toilet, Bali immigration authorities said in a statement.
Australian media identified the man as AngeloPandeli, a prominent member of a motorbike gang linked to drug trafficking and wanted by Interpol.
