corby and the cash, page-52

Well done CH 7!, are you crazy or what?

Mercedes Corby has agreed that her sister Schapelle will not do a paid TV interview ‘‘for the time being’’, after the Indonesian justice department threatened to put her back in prison if she did.

But the family has refused to move from the luxurious Villa Sentosa Seminyak, where they have been since Schapelle’s release from prison on Monday, saying Corby is too nervous of the media pack waiting out the front.

inside the villa complex is a Seven Network media team led by senior journalist Mike Willesee, who were invited by the Corby family and who are planning to pay for an exclusive interview with the drug smuggler.

A camera crew from that team joined the travelling media outside the complex for an hour or more on Friday to film comings and goings.



Mr Wayan reportedly said Corby wanted to go home as quickly as possible, but that the encampment of Australian (and sometimes Indonesian) journalists, waiting in a hotel cafe outside the compound, were ‘‘causing all the problems’’.
