Police knew Corby linked to smugglers
December 10, 2007 - theaustralian.com
POLICE were aware that Schapelle Corby was well-acquainted with four men alleged to have smuggled amphetamines from Brisbane to Bali, but found no evidence the jailed marijuana smuggler was involved in the operation.
Queensland's Criminal Justice Commission is investigating the leaking late last week of a police crime intelligence report containing information about the alleged drug network.
Corby, 30, is serving a 20-year jail sentence in Bali's Kerobokan jail for attempting to smuggle 4.2kg of marijuana into the island in a bodyboard bag in 2004.
Former drug addict Kim Moore told police three weeks before Corby's arrest about the alleged smuggling of amphetamines manufactured in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast to Bali.
Ms Moore's statement formed the basis of the crime intelligence report, which was leaked to the ABC last week.
A police source said yesterday that Corby was known to the four alleged traffickers, three of whom had drug convictions, but no evidence had been found implicating her in drug-running.
The drugs were allegedly transported several times a year from Brisbane to Bali hidden in passenger luggage.
Shortly before giving her police statement about the amphetamines operation, Ms Moore is understood to have tipped off officers about a hydroponic marijuana plantation near Miriam Vale, in central coastal Queensland.
The tip-off led to the conviction of Anthony Lewis, a former neighbour and workmate of Schapelle's father, Michael Corby.
As well as the CMC, the Queensland Police Service ethical standards command is investigating the leaking of the claims by Ms Moore. Police believe the leaking could compromise drug-trafficking investigations. A police spokeswoman cautioned yesterday that Ms Moore's allegations had not been verified and no charges had been brought as a result of them.
"This is information from an informant and it may or may not be substantiated," the spokeswoman said.
However, a police source described Ms Moore as a reliable witness and said her allegations had been treated seriously.
Corby's family has endured a string of revelations and allegations about drugs.
Schapelle's half-brother James Kisina, who was with his sister in Bali when she was apprehended, was arrested last year on drug production and other charges.
Another half-brother, Clinton Rose, has a drug possession conviction. Michael Corby has an old conviction for marijuana possession. Jodie Power, a former close friend of the Corbys, has claimed that Schapelle's sister Mercedes had taken drugs to Bali. Mercedes Corby has strongly denied the claim.
Power claimed to have seen vacuum-sealed plastic bags similar to one found in Corby's bodyboard bag in the family's Gold Coast home.
Vacuum-sealed bags were also found on Lewis's Miriam Vale property at the time of his arrest.
Indonesian police believe the marijuana found on Corby was a particularly potent type that had been grown hydroponically.
A former member of Corby's legal team, Vasu Rasiah, has claimed that Corby's family vetoed moves by her lawyers to have the marijuana she was caught with tested for DNA to determine its origin.
Corby's mother, Roseleigh Rose, in whose Brisbane home Kisina had allegedly hidden stashes of marijuana in coffee jars, could not be contacted.

'It's just more lies': angry Corby family slams new drug claims
December 9, 2007 - smh.com.au
THE mother of convicted drug trafficker Schapelle Corby has slammed reports linking her to a Bali drug ring as lies.
Rosleigh Rose is outraged at accusations by Queensland woman Kim Moore that Corby had past associations with men who imported amphetamines to Bali four times a year.
In a 2004 police intelligent report - obtained by ABC radio's PM program and aired on Friday night - Ms Moore named four alleged associates of Corby as members of a group that transported drugs.
Ms Moore, 49, informed on the drug ring after one of the men offered marijuana to her intellectually-disabled son.
"You just feeling like screaming and yelling," Ms Rose said yesterday.
"Someone's put her [Kim Moore] up to it, simple as that, and we will get to the bottom of it.
"If she was telling the truth, the Australian Federal Police would have been round here, looking for false passports and a bag with a false bottom in it.
"This is a crucial time for Schapelle. This is Schapelle's life they're playing around with."
Another relative said the family was speaking to lawyers about a possible defamation action against Ms Moore.
"It's another blow [for us]. Just lies. It really is. It's really damaging," the relative said. The family is concerned the reports might have already seriously damaged Corby's final appeal against her 20-year sentence for smuggling cannabis from Brisbane to Bali on October 8, 2004.
Corby, 30, has maintained her innocence since her conviction.

The truth about Schapelle Corby
December 15, 2007 - news.com.au
AFTER years of rumours about Bali inmate Schapelle Corby, her biographer Kathryn Bonella claims to sort fact from fiction.
SINCE the day Australians were swept up in Schapelle Corby fever in May 2005, story after story has appeared to turn public sympathy into anger or indifference. Those who were once with her - and who sobbed over the 20-year-sentence, furious at the Indonesian justice system - now feel betrayed.
They'd invested their emotions in Schapelle and now she's let them down. But the truth is that many of the stories and rumours that have drastically reshaped public opinion are wrong; often they are based on flimsy, unsubstantiated information and spread like wildfire. But false stories often remain fact, even if they're later found to be 100 per cent wrong.
The Corbys would perhaps be less sensitive to the continual barrage of sensational allegations if they weren't so concerned about how each new claim or rumour will hurt Schapelle's final appeal - a decision she's waited on for more than 12 months.
Her fate is now in the hands of three judges in Jakarta, who will decide whether to cut her 20-year sentence and give her a chance at having a normal life.
The Corbys constantly defend themselves, usually saying, "It's lies", which even they know ends up sounding lame. In the end, who will believe them when there are so many stories - even when they do prove a story is wrong, as they so often do.
The indisputable fact is that Schapelle Corby stories sell, and that is now to her detriment. The Today Tonight stories earlier this year featuring claims by one-time friend Jodie Power gave the program the eighth top-rating show out of all TV programs this year (excluding sport).
Meanwhile, Corby has done nothing to warrant this new wrath and sits forlornly in Kerobokan Prison. She's not fully aware of how the tide has turned against her, and there's little she can do to defend herself.
She's cooped up in a small concrete cell 15 hours a day with nine other women. She spends all her energy trying to cope with her hellish daily life, trying desperately to stave off constant depression and the weight of a 20-year sentence.
While she remains powerless and at the mercy of the Indonesian justice system, many of the unfounded stories continue to sway people against her.
Here are some claims which have been made about Schapelle Corby.
Claim: Schapelle and Mercedes Corby refused to agree to DNA test the marijuana.
Counter claim: Mercedes had no part in it. Schapelle willingly gave her consent to the Australian Consul in Bali on December 3, 2004, to have the Australian Federal Police offer the Bali Police assistance to test the marijuana, but it was never taken up. Indeed, Schapelle pushed for DNA testing and for fingerprinting of the plastic bags. Bali Police did neither.
Claim: Schapelle's father Michael lived next door to a drug dealer.
Counter claim: The neighbour was convicted for growing and possessing marijuana. He was found not guilty of "supplying". Worse, they hadn't been neighbours for almost a year before Schapelle flew to Bali.
Claim: Schapelle was photographed with a drug dealer before going to Bali. This was the first story apparently linking Schapelle to a drug network. It, too, was wrong.
Counter claim: The photo was taken inside Kerobokan in 2005. The man in the photo was one of hundreds of tourists who went in to visit Schapelle in jail. When he asked if he could have his photograph taken with her, Schapelle happily agreed, smiling for the snap and with no knowledge of the drug connection. The journalist wrote a story a week later stating the photos had been taken inside prison.
Claim: Schapelle's father had been convicted on drugs charges.
Counter claim: In the early 1970s, her father received a fine when police raided a party and found a single joint. He had a broken leg and was the only one who didn't flee. He wasn't interviewed by the police and has no criminal record.
Claim: Schapelle went to Centrelink a month before she went to Bali to apply for a pension for drug-related psychological problems.
Counter claim: Centrelink worker Natalie Pearson, 24, later admitted in court that she'd simply repeated office gossip and had never seen Schapelle's file. The magistrate in the Gold Coast court called her a "disgrace", saying the Corbys had already been through enough "without this sort of thing".
Claim: Schapelle's half-brother James Kisina was responsible for the drugs that were found in her board bag.
Counter claim: Schapelle is certain Kisina, who travelled with her to Bali in 2004 (when he was 16 and at high school), had nothing to do with it. She says he didn't go near her bag before she checked it in.
If he were guilty, she says she wouldn't be doing time for him. He was school captain and had never been in trouble until about 15 months after Schapelle's arrest.
Claim: Mercedes lived in Bali before Schapelle's arrest, owned a surf shop with her husband from where they sold drugs.
Counter claim: She and her family lived in Queensland, were on holiday in Bali and didn't own a surf shop there.
Claim: Schapelle doesn't want to be transferred to an Australian jail.
Counter claim: No transfer scheme exists between Australia and Indonesia, but if it becomes a possibility, Schapelle says she'll make a decision then. This false story gives the misleading impression jail life in Bali is OK. And of course, it isn't.
Claim: Jail life is pretty good.
Counter claim: Jail life is hard. All women prisoners are locked in small concrete cells at 4.30pm every day. The cell doors open at 7.30am, but the women stay in a small walled off section. They can't play sports. There's no luxury, no TV, no airconditioning, no running shower. And there's nothing to do but think.
Claim: Schapelle gets given days out to go to local cafes and shops.
Counter claim: Schapelle has been out twice this year, both times under police escort to the dentist to have a rotting tooth removed. Last year she went outside once: to court.
Claim: the Corby family is using the money from media and book deals to live the high life.
Counter claim: Schapelle's father spent all of his superannuation on her legal fees - a total of more than $200,000 to date. The family continues to fight for Schapelle's freedom. They also spend money feeding her, providing all her essentials (including toilet paper and cleaning products) and medical care. Just getting a doctor into the prison costs $500.
Claim: Schapelle is being moved to a prison in Java because she wrote her book, My Story.
Counter claim: The threat of being moved existed long before the book. All foreign prisoners are under threat of being moved because of overcrowding in Kerobokan. While she is still in appeal, she won't be moved.
Claim: Schapelle wants to have a baby in prison.
Counter claim: She wants a baby but has no plans to have one in jail. She's clinging to the hope she'll one day have a family as a free woman.
Claim: She had an affair with Bali Nine member Andrew Chan.
Counter claim: She's never had an affair with Chan or anyone in jail.
Corby turned 30 this year and faces a fourth Christmas in jail. If her appeal is unsuccessful, she'll spend 16 more years behind bars, and will be 47 when she's released.

Corby denied sentence cut again
December 25, 2007 - news.com.au
 CONVICTED Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby has been denied a sentence reduction, traditionally granted on Christmas Day, because she had a mobile phone in her jail cell earlier this year.
The governor of Bali's Kerobokan Prison Ilham Djaja today said Corby was not among 81 prisoners recommended for a sentence reduction to mark today's religious holiday in Indonesia.
"We didn't suggest her (to have sentence reduction) because she is still under punishment over violation of hand phone usage inside the prison a few months ago," Djaja said.
"One violation means one year of no remission," Djaja said.
It is the second time Corby has been denied a sentence reduction this year because of the mobile phone indiscretion, with the Gold Coast beauty student also missing out on Indonesia's Independence Day in August.
Corby was arrested in October 2004 at Denpasar Airport with 4.2kg of marijuana in her boogie board bag after arriving on a flight from Australia.
She was jailed for 20 years but has maintained her innocence.
She is awaiting a decision on her last-ditch appeal from Indonesia's Supreme Court.

I don't know if she did it or not, but nobody deserves to rot in prison because of cannabis... assuming she is innocent, as she claims, then you statement has no bearing on her situation. Most people would feel compassion, not ridicule.

How about staying out of muslim shit holes that treat drugs as serious as murder. I do feel bad for her, and I hope tourists stay the fuck out of Indonesia. They have been killing tourists from Australia for years, and it should be common knowledge by now that dealers/police set people up, and murder/prison them. I honestly don't know why anyone would go there, even if it is uncommon, its fucked up.

Corby's hopes of coming home dashed
March 12, 2008 - The Austalian
HOPES for Schapelle Corby and members of the Bali Nine heroin smuggling gang to return home under a prisoner-exchange program have been dashed.
Indonesia's director of prisons said Jakarta "does not favour the deal for drug convictions".
Visiting Bali's Kerobokan jail yesterday, national jails chief Untung Sugiyono said that despite upbeat progress reports from Australia, he did not believe the three-year-old negotiations were moving ahead.
Australian diplomatic sources have told The Australian they are pleased with how talks on the treaty are going, but admit any resolution is still well off.
Mr Sugiyono confirmed this yesterday, saying the legal detail was "still being negotiated" and he did "not know how much longer it will be before this is resolved".
However, he added, there was at least "one thing that has still not been agreed to: the participation (in the program) of drugs convicts. Indonesia still does not want to do this".
Mr Sugiyono was visiting the jail to deliver prisoner sentence remissions for the Balinese Hindu holy day of Nyepi, or the day of silence.
Inmates in Indonesian jails can win remissions from their sentences on Independence Day _ - August 17 _ - and on each of several mandated religious holidays.
None of the Australians in Kerobokan was eligible for yesterday's Hindu remissions, but Corby took the opportunity to assure Mr Sugiyono that recent reports of her leaving the jail to enjoy dinner in a nearby restaurant were false.
Speaking in the rudimentary Indonesian she has picked up since being arrested in 2004 with 4.2kg of marijuana in her boogie board bag, Corby told the official and journalists that "I didn't go out, Sir, I didn't go out".
An Australian tourist produced a photograph recently claiming it depicted Corby and her sister Mercedes dining out, although there was no independent verification of the identities of those in the picture.
Telling the visitors that her accuser was "just looking for money", Corby said: "I will soon have been here for four years, and (in that time) I've been out three times, just to have teeth pulled".
Switching to English, the former hairdresser added: "Anyway, I'm short and stocky, not tall and skinny (like the character in the photograph)."
Corby is hoping within days to learn the outcome of a Supreme Court appeal against her 20 year sentence for narcotics smuggling _ - marijuana being classified amongst the most serious types of substances under Indonesia's drugs laws.
Although the three judges assessing her appeal have had 18 months to consider it, they revealed last week they expected to soon announce a decision.
None of the Bali nine gang met the prisons director yesterday, with its eight male members confined to a maximim security tower at the heart of the jail complex.
Gang leaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran lounged in the tower's yard area reading magazines, while the others remained indoors.
The syndicate's sole female prisoner, Renae Lawrence, was kept in the women's block but could be seen trying to peer out at the tightly herded group of journalists as they toured the complex.

I very much want to travel to SE Asia, but I will never step foot in Indonesia simply because of this case.
Scary stuff.
I'm pretty well convinced that she is innocent.

Corby loses last court appeal
March 27, 2008 - news.com.au
Schapelle Corby has had an appeal against her 20-year sentence rejected by Indonesia's Supreme Court.
The 30-year-old Gold Coast woman, who was arrested in 2004 at Denpasar airport with 4.1kg of marijuana in her boogie board bag, had pinned her last hopes on Indonesia's highest review court knocking down her sentence.
Her only option now is a presidential pardon, which would require her to admit guilt in the case.
However Corby has always insisted the drugs were planted in her bag by unknown persons and that she was innocent.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has also always been adamant he would not grant clemency in drugs cases.
Corby will now be forced to watch several of her jail mates, members of the Bali Nine heroin smuggling gang, go to their executions once they have exhausted all avenues of appeal against their death sentences.
She will be due for release in 2024, although she could expect that time to be reduced with remissions for good behaviour.

I note that the Aussies are pissed because she is young, pretty and another country has put her in jail - yet Australia punishes her own citizens for the same crimes.

Damn, hadn't heard about this until today. Just read the whole thing...
Super shady stuff. It seems like she may have done it, or at least known/been linked to the people responsible for fucking her over, but the fact remains that nobody should be in prison for anything related to weed, unless the crime is somehow fashioning a shank out of a fat calyx and pwning someone with it.

Schapelle Corby 'could work her way free'
April 22, 2008 - news.com.au
 CONVICTED Australian drug trafficker Schapelle Corby may be up for a prison job that could shave years off the 20-year sentence she is serving in an Indonesian jail.
The outgoing head of Bali's Kerobokan Prison today said Corby should be made an inmates' leader - a role that could see up to 11 months cut from her sentence each year.
Corby, who last month lost her final appeal against her sentence, was a "very good" prisoner, Ilham Djaya said.
He said she should be considered for the role of Tamping, where she would lead a small group of prisoners, or the key role of Pemuka, who oversees the Tamping leaders.
Should Corby make the rank of Pemuka, she could be eligible for sentence cuts of up to 11 months every year, Mr Djaya said. Smaller remissions apply to Tamping leaders.
Mr Djaya offered his support for Corby despite the former Gold Coast beauty student's controversial stint at Kerobokan.
Since her detention almost four years ago for cannabis smuggling, Corby has written a book describing the prison as a "disgusting slum". She missed out on a sentence remission last year after she was found with a mobile phone in her cell.
And Corby recently emphatically denied reports, aired on Australian television, that she had been allowed out of the prison to dine with her sister at a Bali restaurant.
Mr Djaya praised Corby and Bali Nine heroin smuggler Renae Lawrence, who is also serving a 20-year term.
"Corby has a job to gather handicrafts from prisoners, like from sewing and knitting class, she has learned everything," Mr Djaya said.
"The handicrafts collected by Corby are then collected by the Buddhist association to be sold in the market."
He said the role of Pemuka would be good for long-term prisoners.
"For a long-term prisoner like Renae or Corby it would be very good to be a Pemuka," he said.
Mr Djaya described Lawrence as "extraordinary".
"She does her jobs very well," he said, adding that Lawrence had done everything from fixing taps to cleaning.
"Even the sewer, she is willing to clean it."
Mr Djaya was formally replaced today by incoming prison governor Yon Suharyono at a ceremony in the prison complex.
Corby's lawyer Erwin Siregar, who attended today's ceremony, told reporters he was yet to decide whether to seek clemency for the Australian from Indonesia's president.
He was also still considering whether to seek another final appeal, even though Indonesian law makes no provision for that.

Schapelle Corby 'may be placed in mental institution'
June 20, 2008 - news.com.au
 CONVICTED drug smuggler Schapelle Corby has suffered a "total mental disturbance" after hearing of her failed final appeal, doctors say.
An Indonesian prison guard said Corby had been unable to eat or sleep since being told her final appeal had failed.
Doctors say Corby is suffering from depression and will remain in hospital for at least one to two weeks, and could even be put into a mental institution if her condition deteriorates.
She was taken to Sanglah Hospital in Bali yesterday afternoon, with a prison official saying it was believed she was suffering depression.
Dr Leli Setyawati from Sanglah Hospital estimated that Corby would remain in hospital for at least one to two weeks.
"The patient Corby has suffered a total mental disturbance but we cannot explain in detail what kind of disturbance... or which stage of depression she is in now because of patient privacy," she said.
"In our estimation Corby must be treated for one to two weeks.
"If there's no development or progress within one to two weeks then the treatment can be extended further.
"But if it reaches a critical level, we must consider moving her to a mental institution," Dr Setyawati said.
A prison guard today said Corby has had trouble sleeping and eating since hearing of her failed final appeal.
"We took her to hospital because the doctor in prison could not handle the case any more," Kerobokan Prison head of security Maliki said.
"(Lawyer) Erwin Siregar has told her about the judicial review rejection. Since then she's had trouble sleeping and didn't want to eat.
"That condition has made her very stressed."
Mr Siregar said he would not be able to visit his high-profile client until next week, but believed she was depressed.
"My conclusion, I think, when I spoke to her a week ago, she is depressed," he said.
"She has not told me about it, and this is my opinion, I think one of the causes is because of the sentence of the Supreme Court from the extraordinary appeal."
Corby's final legal challenge failed in March when Indonesia's Supreme Court upheld her 20-year sentence.
Two police guards and two policemen are taking shifts guarding the Australian in hospital.
Mr Siregar said he'd not yet discussed an appeal for clemency to Indonesia's president.
"Not yet because this is not a good situation to discuss about that," he said.
An appeal for clemency is Corby's last legal option, but it means she would have to admit guilt.
Corby is serving 20 years in Kerobokan Prison after she was caught at Bali's airport in October 2004 with 4.1kg of marijuana in her boogie board bag.
Her lawyers claimed she was an innocent victim of baggage handlers involved in moving drugs around Australia.
Corby's hopes of being released from prison have relied on the outcome of long-running negotiations between Indonesia and Australia over a prisoner transfer deal.
She has been let of out of her Bali prison home three previous times in the past four years for medical reasons.
Corby's father Michael Corby died in January after a long battle with prostate cancer, while her stepfather Greg Martin also lost his cancer fight in April.
Corby's older sister Mercedes, who recently returned to Bali after a defamation win against the Seven Network in the Sydney courts, has been by her sister's side in hospital.
The Nine Network will tomorrow night begin screening a new documentary on the case, with part two airing on Tuesday.
Some of the footage was shot by Corby herself, using a camera smuggled into her cell.
"It's hard to imagine what she was enduring and still is enduring and the awful conditions there," producer Janine Hoskins told Nine.
"So she didn't get to keep the camera for very long but it was quite a dramatic day when she did have the camera."

Man oh man, I still can't get this all right in my head. They've completely wrecked this woman, and her family, because she may've smuggled some pot. I bet she is going insane, those prisons look horrible. If I were in her shoes, I'd do everything I could to form an escape plan and make it work!
Just one of the many atrocities going on every day

At least she keeps her eyebrows well-shaped and plucked.

Schapelle Corby doco to air in US
link
SCHAPELLE Corby is living a nightmare - convicted in 2005 of smuggling marijuana into Indonesia, the 30-year-old Australian is serving a 20-year sentence in a cramped Bali prison.
Now a film to be shown on US television on Monday goes behind the scenes at the dramatic trial that gripped Australia, initially strained ties between the neighbouring countries and left people asking: "Did she really do it?''
"Australians became so besotted with the case,'' said Janine Hosking, who made the documentary Ganja Queen set to air on US cable channel HBO.
"She doesn't look like how we would imagine a drug trafficker to look; she looks like the girl next door.
"People will speculate forever on this case,'' Ms Hosking said.
She began filming shortly before the trial began - after Corby had already spent five months behind bars in a country that imposes the death penalty on drug traffickers.
Ganja Queen shows footage shot by Corby with a camera she smuggled into her small jail cell, secret interviews with her during visits to the jail, and shots of her family and defence team, including discussions about whether to try and use bribery to secure her release.
Indonesia regularly ranks among the world's most corrupt countries, a problem its government is trying to overcome.
"Bribery is probably relevant for very low-profile cases that you can make the thing go away, but with Schapelle's there was so much scrutiny that the case became very transparent because there was media absolutely everywhere,'' Ms Hosking said.
"The media thing has worked against her although it has made her a star,'' she said.
"It is a harrowing story and I think it really shows in a very close up and personal way just how awful it can be if you are caught up in a different legal system and to be under the scrutiny of the media spotlight,'' she said.
"When you get to know Schapelle (in the film), it's gripping and I don't think it matters where she comes from - whether she's an Australian, or an American or British or whatever,'' Ms Hosking said.
"It could happen to anyone.''
Corby's final appeal was rejected in March, sending her into a depression that saw her admitted to hospital last week.

I've probably said it 10 times in this thread, but I'll never be going to Indonesia because of this story alone.

After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action. If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it. - Ernest Hemingway
If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it. In the law courts, in business, in government. There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent. -Cormac MacCarthy
He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus
