According to Nine News, Kim Anne Alloggia, was arrested in Bali on Saturday, March 2 after local police officers seized a parcel sent to her that allegedly contained marijuana liquid.

Police claimed they found the substance, weighing 0.57 grams, in a parcel that also contained fabric dye.

The parcel was allegedly sent to Ms Alloggia by a friend from America.

Police also claimed it was then collected from a post office by Ms Alloggia's Balinese business manager and taken to her home in Seminyak. 

Ms Alloggia's lawyer said her friend offered to send an alternative medicine for a liver condition and was unaware the parcel contained drugs.

Nine News reported earlier this month the 51-year-old was being held at Denpasar Police Station.
