SCHAPELLE Corby has cried and asked when she might be able to
return to Indonesia when questioned by Bali correctional
officers about her coming deportation from the country,
officials say.
The convicted drug smuggler, who is set to return to Australia
within weeks, has reportedly complained that she is overweight
and stressed by the constant attention ahead of her May 27
deportation from the holiday isle but was upset at the prospect
of never being able to return to the holiday isle.
“She said to me that she’s scared of the media,” Bali
immigration chief Muhammad Natsir told Fairfax Media, saying she
was constantly followed at home and on the beach.
“She’s overweight now because she is too scared to go and work
out.”
More than three years after being released from Kerobokan prison
on parole in February 2014, Corby met the head of Bali’s
Correctional Division in Denpasar on Thursday as she prepares to
say goodbye to Indonesia in May.
“She shed some tears. I told her not to cry,” head of Bali’s
correction division Surung Pasaribu told AAP.
Corby — who will be deported to Australia after her parole
expires on May 27 — at first seemed “suspicious and stressed”
and did not want to talk about her release, Mr Pasaribu said.
While the 39-year-old appeared healthy, Mr Pasaribu said she
mentioned she was sometimes afraid to go jogging and swimming in
Bali because she feared people were following her.
Mr Pasaribu said Corby had asked when she would be allowed to
visit Indonesia again.
It was a question best left to the Indonesian authorities in
Australia, he told her.
Friends have been warned to expect a very changed woman when
Corby returns to Australia after more than a decade.
“She’s been through a hell of a lot and they just want to be
left alone,” a family friend told the Gold Coast Bulletin this
week.
“It’s taken a lot out of her ... She’s not the same person she
went in as.”
Corby was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2005 after she was
arrested the previous year in Bali with 4.1kg of cannabis inside
a bodyboard bag.
