An Australian man allegedly caught trying to smuggle hash and the party drug ice into Bali in his stomach will face a trafficking charge and the possibility of a death sentence, prosecutors have confirmed.

Edward Myatt is expected to be moved from police headquarters in Bali to the notorious Kerobokan jail within days after it was revealed today that police had completed their investigation and were set to hand the case over to prosecutors.

The 54-year-old Ballarat-born man was arrested on February 27 at Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali and was later allegedly found to be carrying 1.1kg of hashish and more than four grams of methamphetamines in plastic casings which he had swallowed.
