On Monday, the court rejected the defence by Mr. Schellenberg, who called the accusations against him ”ridiculous,” as he sought to rebuff new evidence brought against him during a proceeding in which he and his lawyers were frequently interrupted by a prosecutor and the chief judge.

Mr. Schellenberg, 36, showed little reaction to the decision, standing still and quietly acknowledging the verdict against him.

In the single-day trial, Mr. Schellenberg had described himself as a tourist, caught up in a conspiracy to traffic drugs to Australia by a man he thought was his translator.

“I am not a drug smuggler. I am not a drug user. I am a normal person,” he said. “I am innocent.”
