Australian entrepreneur Julian Petroulas defends against ban from Indonesia and property allegations

Australian entrepreneur Julian Petroulas, 33, claims he has been unfairly banned from Indonesia amid allegations about his property investments. He insists he holds leasehold rights to 1.1 hectares of land and a restaurant in Bali. Petroulas is currently involved in a lawsuit against the seller of the land, alleging contract breaches. He believes recent negative media coverage is part of a smear campaign linked to this legal dispute. The Indonesian government has not contacted him to verify his claims before issuing the ban. Petroulas maintains that his business activities comply with local laws and hopes for a review of the situation.
