Australian entrepreneur banned from Indonesia for false property claims in Bali

Australian entrepreneur Julian Petroulas, 33, has been banned from Indonesia after falsely claiming ownership of luxury villas and a restaurant in Bali. Indonesian authorities stated that his property claims were untrue and that his visa did not permit property ownership. Petroulas gained attention on social media by showcasing his lavish lifestyle and discussing supposed investments in Bali. However, the Directorate General of Immigration confirmed that he did not own the land or business he claimed. The Indonesian government emphasized that misleading information could harm the country's image as an investment destination. They plan to monitor social media to prevent the spread of false claims.
