An Aussie man involved in a carpark brawl outside a popular beach club while holidaying in Bali will be freed from jail within weeks. 

Mohamed Rifai, 27, from south-west Sydney, was sentenced to four months on Thursday after a panel of judges at Depasar District Court found him guilty of assault. 

Rifai was arrested in February following a wild brawl outside Finns Beach Club in North Kuta involving up to 15 security staff and four other Australian tourists. 

He has been in custody ever since.

Based on time already served, Rifai will walk free later this month when he has completed his four month term in Bali’s notorious Kerobokan prison. 

‘The panel of judges has found the defendant Mohamed Rifai guilty of assault and in violation of article 351 subsection one of the Indonesian Criminal Code and sentence the defendant to four months prison minus the time he has already served,’ Denpasar District Court judge Anak Agung Made Aripathi told the court. 

Rifai accepted the verdict and has decided not to appeal.   

His lawyer Sabam Antonius welcomed the jail sentence, which was slightly shorter than the five month term recommended by the prosecutor. 

‘We accept this sentence, this is best sentence. That’s why we decided to accept the sentence,’ Mr Antonius said. 

A relieved Rifai was seen smiling and hugged his father in court after learning his fate. 

He didn’t comment on the verdict to reporters when leaving court. 

Last week in court, Rifai claimed he acted in self defence while he was allegedly attacked by the security guards after they escorted his friend John Ebid from the club.

The panel of judges on Thursday concluded there was no justification for Rifai’s actions.

The prosecutor said the injuries inflicted on the victim, security guard Made Bagus Yohanandita, added to the seriousness of the offending. 

He also considered several mitigating factors, including Rifai’s polite nature during the trial, admission of guilt, displays of remorse, and the ‘peace agreement’ between himself and security guards involved in the brawl. 

 ‘The defendant’s actions have caused the victim to suffer injuries such as losing teeth and bleeding to his nose,’ the judge told the court.

Earlier this week, Rifai delivered an impassioned plea for leniency in court.

‘I am very, very sorry for my actions that night,’ he said. 

‘I am not a rough person. I have a family that I should protect in Australia.

‘I beg you to give me the possible lightest sentence.’

The maximum penalty for assault occasioning serious injury is five years’ prison in Indonesia.
