The 43-year-old former PCSO with Gloucestershire Police had previously admitted trafficking the drug, often referred to as ‘ice’, worth more than £3,000, into Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city, in April last year.
Waldeck had earlier heard prosecutors demand a sentence of 16 years, so when the verdict was handed down by three judges her reaction was not unexpected.

She was also ordered to pay the equivalent of a fine of £100,000.
Presiding Judge Faturrachman, said: ‘Andrea Waldeck has been proven legally and convincingly guilty of offering to sell or become a middle person to sell drugs.’
Her immediate reaction was to tell her defence team through an interpreter that she would ‘take time now to consider the verdict, my future and whether I should appeal.’
Dressed in a red prisoner’s bib and clutching a Bible, she was then led from the court to begin her sentence.
She had earlier told the court that smuggling 3lbs of crystal meth into the country last year was the most stupid thing she had done in her life.
‘I’ve let down my country and my family,’ she told the earlier court hearing this month.
