British national Julian Ponder has been jailed for six years after being convicted of cocaine possession in Bali.
Prosecutors in Indonesia had asked for a seven-year prison term, and he could have faced a maximum sentence of life.
Lindsay Sandiford, the British grandmother sentenced to death for smuggling cocaine worth £1.5m onto the island, had alleged that Ponder was the man she was going to deliver the cocaine to.
He was originally charged with drug trafficking, but that was later reduced to possession.
Sky's Jonathan Samuels said: "It was alleged that he was linked to Lindsay Sandiford … she was caught at the airport and arrested, and she alleged that Julian Ponder was the man she was going to deliver the cocaine to.
"It's something he has always denied. He was initially charged with drugs trafficking, but that charge was dropped.
"He was then charged with drugs possession after a small amount of drugs was found in his home.
"The judges did have the right to re-examine the evidence, and to re-charge him with drug trafficking.
"They've decided not to do that, so he will spend six years in one of the most notorious jails on the holiday island."
