Model moved to notorious prison
Leslie, 24, was arrested in August when Bali police allegedly found two ecstasy pills in her handbag during a sweep at a Bali rave party.
She wore a white scarf and long-sleeve shirt as she was moved from squalid police cells yesterday.
The former underwear model said nothing and was impassive as she was hustled into a police vehicle with bars on the windows.
She was chased by carloads of media, who at times jumped out of vehicles at traffic lights in Denpasar to snap her picture, on the way to her first stop - the prosecutor’s office.
Accompanied by three lawyers, Leslie faced questioning by prosecutors, watched by a media scrum.
She was later taken to Kerobokan jail, where conditions are expected to be better than in the small, squalid and dark police holding cells where she has spent the past two months.
The move to Kerobokan is also another step towards her prosecution.
Prosecutor Suhadi said Leslie faces up to 15 years jail if convicted on charges for possession and use of illegal psychotropic drugs.
Leslie’s urine tests after her arrest proved positive for ecstasy use, police said.
In August, Leslie appeared in an Islamic cover-all burqa and said she had converted to Islam a year before her arrest.
She was accused of trying to win sympathy from Bali’s mostly Muslim judges.
Suhadi said her trial could begin next month.
