Float, 31, arrived in a prison van at Denpasar Central Court in Bali with his wrists shackled and wearing an orange prison vest.

He hurled abuse at the press while being walked to a holding cell.

In February, Float laughed and mugged for the cameras when Indonesian police paraded him and two other Brits before the media following their arrests.

He and his Brit co-accused, Jon Collyer 37 and Lisa Stocker, 39, both of Gillingham, Kent, are charged with attempting to smuggle cocaine with a value of £300,000 and disguised as Angel Delights into Bali on February 1.

Stocker and Collyer allegedly brought the drugs into Bali’s Ngurah Rai international airport via Doha airport in Qatar.

The pair was arrested at the airport when security officials discovered suspicious items in their suitcase during a random x-ray.

Police claim that airport security seized 994.56g of cocaine in a sealed blue plastic Angel Delight packets in Collyer’s suitcase.

Cops allege that more cocaine was found in Stocker’s bag.

Float was expected to meet Collyer and Stocker at the airport.

Collyer and Stocker are being tried together and Float separately, although the trio appeared together in Denpasar central court today.

White sitting inside the court, Float joked and smiled at Collyer while Stocker was visibly upset.

The three Brits face death by firing squad if they are found guilty of the offence under Indonesia’s tough anti-drug laws.

The future of the trio will be decided by three judges, since Indonesia does not have a jury system.

Article 113 of Indonesia narcotics law states that anyone who imports or distributes is subject to the death penalty.

The three have been held in Bali’s notorious Kerobokan prison and it has been reported that Float has gotten into fights with other inmates.

Prison authorities threatened him with being thrown into the feared “rat cell” isolation over an alleged recent brawl with another inmate.
