EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

A convicted drug trafficker has revealed he supplied the marijuana that Schapelle Corby was caught trying to smuggle through Bali airport.

Malcolm McCauley spent 15 months in jail for his role in a drug syndicate that transported 100 kilograms of cannabis from South Australia to Queensland between January 2004 and November 2005.

Since his release from prison last month for that crime, McCauley said he had grappled with his conscience over his explosive knowledge of the Corby case.

Breaking his silence to The Sun-Herald in Adelaide on Friday, he named Corby's late father, Mick, as the Queensland buyer of his marijuana and Bali as its final destination.

In further damning revelations, McCauley spoke of an "arrangement" involving Mick and corrupt Bali airport officials who would "pocket bribe money placed inside the bag" - usually $US1000 - in return for waving the drugs through.

And he claimed of Schapelle: "The truth is, she always knew her dad was a drug dealer."
