AFP rule out fresh probe into Corby case

14/07/2008 9:43:00 AM.  | 
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has ruled out any fresh investigation into the case of convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby.

This follows claims that Corby's father owned the marijuana that led to her 20-year Bali jail sentence.

Corby's sister Mercedes had called for the AFP to disprove allegations from convicted drug trafficker, Adelaide man Malcolm McCauley, that he supplied the late Michael Corby with the drugs.

Mr McCauley also told Fairfax newspapers that former beauty therapy student Schapelle knew how the drug smuggling operation worked.

"The Australian Federal Police does not intend to investigate claims by an Adelaide man that he was involved in the supply of illegal drugs to a member of the Corby family," an AFP spokesman said yesterday.

"Schapelle Corby was convicted of drug offences in Indonesia where she is currently serving her sentence.

"The information published in today's (Sunday's) media reports does not create grounds for further investigation."

Schapelle is serving a 20-year jail term in Bali's Kerobokan prison after being convicted in 2005 for smuggling 4.2 kilograms of marijuana in a boogie board bag into Denpasar airport.

McCauley said the plan "broke down on the day" because a series of $1,000 bribes also placed in the bag went missing before the bag went through airport security.

Speaking from Bali at the weekend, Mercedes Corby told AAP she was outraged by Mr McCauley's claims and wanted an AFP investigation to clear her father's and her sister's names.

Mr Corby died earlier this year from cancer and a week ago Queensland Police said they had "no evidence to link Michael Corby with involvement in the drug trade".

A spokeswoman for Queensland Police said yesterday the matter was not under investigation.

GOOD. Now will the Media PLEASE stop reporting on this incessant Dribble. Who cares what the CORBY's want or say? Leave them to figure it out for themselves and let the rest of OZ move on!

from watching the documentary on her case and hearing all the bullshit that she had something to do with it just because she recognized the drugs as marijuana ,come on anyone who has been around or heard of marijuana will know what it looks like.she is innocent without a doudt,to know whats in her boogie board just her board and then later on finding drugs in there ,it wasnt her .someone else planted the drugs in her luggage so she would be prosecuted and not the actuall smuggler himself.freeher

Well! she passed through our modern airport security system with her luggage at Brisbane airport and then passed through the modern security system again at Sydney airport. Perhaps she should be free for being smart and they should be locked-up for being too dumb on the job. The next boogie board might have a bomb in it.

I just watched the documentry and I am shocked to see how this all unfolded so unjustly!!!!! I mean come on, why did they have to burn the evidence????? why where the baggage handlers questioned then released??????? of course they will deny it all.... My heart and prayers goes out to the Corby family, what a terrible unfair trial. I am surprised that the Australian government dosen't do more to help her prove her inocence, that could have happened to anyone visiting a foreign country!!!

Irregardless of how nuts, addicted, hard-worn or whatever her family is, I believe that she is innocent. I think her half-brother may be the guilty one.

I don't care if she is guilty. The bottom line is 20 years of someone's life isn't justice for 10 pounds of Marijuana. It may look bad, but I think we all know how insignificant and almost harmless Marijuana is. If she was smuggling Cocaine, Heroin, etc.... I may feel different about the sentences appropriateness. All of those substances have the potential to cause harm to those who take it and to those around them when they may make bad decisions while under the influence. Pot does not.
