Not in countries that promote justice.

The drugs were found inside her unlocked bag after having passed through the hands of at least nine other people in transit. Then, Indonesian customs got hold of it.

It had already been opened by customs before she was asked to open it. So at least one other handled the unlocked bag.
and cut open the bag of dope in it, then sticky taped the cut inner bag shut before zipping the bag up again.

Why?

It was her bag, but anyone could have. and in fact did open it before she picked it up at the baggage carousel in Bali.
Obviously anybody in baggage handling or customs could have tampered with the bag in transit, as the customs officers demonstrated.

so whats the defense again ?
the customs had a bag of drugs ready to slip into someones luggage ,
someone who arrived with a bag that looked to be made for more than one body board
but only had one in it ,
and Corby was unlucky to be carrying such a bag ?

Who would be stupid enough to try and smuggle that lot through in an open boogie bag?

Some one that had made many trips to Bali and had never had their bag opened and thought that meant there as lax surveillance.

Even her staunchest defenders have never tried to claim the any of the Colby’s were geniuses.

No one in the game would be stupid enough to pack the grass into an unlocked bag and leave it up to the tender loving care of baggage handlers, airline staff and customs for safe arrival!

In blue's post #403, the pic shows the bag of grass on the floor in the interview room at Bali airport, you can notice two odd things.

1) The black tape used to re-seal the inner bag after customs had admitted to cutting it open, to stick his hand in to fish some out. Then, replacing it into the outer bag, cut end first. If so they must have removed the inner bag completely out to do that.

2) At the snap-lock sealing end of the outer bag, the inner bag seems a little empty, not packed full.

The weight of the grass was 4.2kg = 9.2lb, or 0.8lb short of 10lb = 12oz short of the full dealer's 10lb weight, or 0.8kg short of 5kg. A short weight, an unusual weight, not one a dealer would sell, as they always sell full weights or get shot.
In Oz, NZ, UK, bulk grass is usually sold by the pound, never over or under the weight.

Or 0.8kg (1.8lbs) short of 5kg of the dealer's weight, bigger than a couple of big handfuls!
But, 12oz is about half of that and about three bloody big grabs into the bag.

The only person who could have removed that grass was the customs officer who opened the bag.
That was a fair slice of the cake that went missing just for starters!

I think the grass came in as a 10lb (4.5kg) weight from Oz.
The alternative is that it was a 5kg weight from Indonesia, which I doubt it was.

But the customs still took their cut, the corrupt little fwkrs.

That trick goes on everywhere, cops, guards, the lot of them!

Could just as well be that it was 2 ounces over 9 pounds. In all my time on the board I have never seen anyone quite as hell bent on proving himself right as ENT. At noon he could find the facts to prove that it indeed was midnight.

It was being delivered to Mercedes Corby and her Balinese husband.

It had been going on for a long time. There was no money, hence the problem. The standard $1000 was missing. Thats what got taken out of the bag before it got to Bali, or before it got to the Customs agent at arrivals.

**ENT** · 19-04-2012, 05:23 PM

The grass was slipped into her bag by a baggage handler, either in Brisbane or in Sydney.
It was first noticed by the Bali baggage crew, then customs took over.
Big kudos with USA for Indonesia to nab such a weight of grass.
USA had dished out heaps of $$s to Indonesia to upgrade their forensics and customs at the time, post 9/11 as Indonesia was a transit country for Al Quaeda, affiliated through Jemaah Islamiah recruiting and activity.

As far as I know, smuggling such a large bag of grass into Indonesia never happened before or since.

In all you time you probably didn't look beyond the surface.

What standard $1000 missing are you on about?
Something you read in Duff's novel?

So you reckon they just helped themselves to a "standard" handful or three instead?
Well if so, you support my point that the customs were complicit in the set up.

If Corby senior (or any one for that matter) had been doing this all the while then, why would he risk getting caight for a measly $1000?

12oz of grass sells for about $3-4,000, so it wasn't an enforced cut on a dealer, it was a rip off by a thieving corrupt customs agent.
This sort of thing goes on all the time in busts.
Like 7,436 tabs of yaba short of a 100,000 pill batch nabbed at the Thai border, and on and on it goes.

**aging one** · 19-04-2012, 05:46 PM

Just another train of thought mate. Keep on. The thread is not stopping is it? But the genre has changed from drama to comedy in my eyes. But I will bug out now. Believe me I know first hand about not only the Indonesian justice system, but the prison system as well.

Carry on.

A little more hearsay.

But McCauley claimed he was Mick Corby's marijuana supplier and had sold him the drugs found in Schapelle's boogie board bag. He said the drugs regularly smuggled into Bali always contained a $US1000 cash bribe to smooth them through Customs.

Malcom McCauley's statements have been completely rubbished by the Oz police.

^^You may do AO, but you don't know how the crim drug world operates.
Leaving a fiver (or $1,000) in the bag to be picked up by anybody ain't how it's done.

The whole family and friends are full of that much shit they had no other way.

Prove it.

Two people gave sworn statements to the Oz cops on that score.
Both have been intimidated into shutting their mouths over it by "interested parties" both inside and outside of Long Bay.

Exactly right!! Spot on!!! But after more than a few runs other people began to see what was going on. Then the shit hit the fan. Cheap ass white trash. They were not part of any drug syndicate. They had found a way to holiday in Bali for free, plus make enough for the next ticket over and keep the sister and hubby happy.

To equate anything to do with the Corby's to international trafficking is a joke mate. Talking tons not pounds mate. I do apologize. Keep on.

**ENT** · 19-04-2012, 06:20 PM

Tell me about the tons of drugs (I assume you mean ganja from Oz ) that's smuggled into Indonesia by air.
If any does, it comes in shipping containers or private boats.
I've not seen any reports of it.
Air cargo smuggling is usually cocaine or heroine and meth-amphetamine or its precursor chemicals.

**Latindancer** · 19-04-2012, 06:26 PM

I agree with Aging One's last post.

Something else just occurred to me, and I'm not sure if the point has been raised anywhere before. However I admit to not being familiar with the fine details.

Why was the transparent bag not disguised a little better ? I mean, if it was me, I would have put another bag around it so that a casual opening of the boogie board bag would not reveal the dope immediately in all it's glory. I would have packed a thin layer of Dacron around it so that casual inspection would reveal a pillow or something of the sort.
Something basic just doesn't seem right here.

I would like to see the scales but she's still guilty as fok on the import.

The weight is the only thing I query not that it really matters that much with a friggin bag that size.

In Australia the going rate for top quality hydro is $300-350 an ounce Perth prices.

In Bali top quality Hydro would sell for a lot more as its not produced in Indonesia and is fully imported from Australia hence more proof Corby and the family where up to it into the necks.

Family proven dealers, growers and users.

1 run too many, end game, busted and game over.

Wow I've never bought the shit but I always thought an ounce of gold is an ounce of pot $1 for $1.
Well thats how I thought it used to work. ENT would probably know the answer to that best.

12 oz of grass, not 2oz!
I stuck a( ! ) instead of a ( 1 ) before the 2 by mistake, sorry for that .
Post will now be corrected 12oz not !2 oz!!

You're making a broad statement there by saying that the Corby family are proven dealers growers and sellers.
Give me some references.

So far that I've read, only her half brother is a "proven", and that was after the Corby case
Her dad got busted for a joint once, I've read.

Quote before correction, a !2 instead of a 12. Cool?

**baldrick** · 19-04-2012, 09:07 PM

^ are you trying to argue that she is not guilty of carrying 4 kgs of hydro through bali airport ?

or trying to argue that she did not get a fair(whatever the fcuk that means ) trial ?
