> Schapelle Corby dad 'ran drugs'
>
> SCHAPELLE Corby's father was being investigated for running drugs just weeks
> before she was arrested, a family member claims.
>
> The controversial allegations were made by a relative of the Corby family,
> Allan Trembath, who was Michael Corby's cousin.
>
> Mr Trembath claimed Schapelle Corby simply followed her father into the drug
> trade. "Honestly, I don't think that Schapelle would have known any
> different because she would have been around drugs her whole life," Mr
> Trembath said.
>
> Mr Trembath, a retired farm hand living near Mackay, told ABC's Lateline Mr
> Corby Sr, who died in January this year, had been involved in the drug trade
> for more than 20 years and had asked him in the early 1980s to smuggle
> drugs.
>
> "He said, 'Do you want to earn 80 grand?' and I said, 'what do I have to do,
> kill somebody?' 'No', he said, 'you pick up a boat, sail it to Cedar Bay and
> pick up a lot of marijuana and bring it back down to Mackay and you will get
> 80 grand for it'," Mr Trembath told Lateline.

> More than 10 years later, in September 2004, Queensland police raided a

> Sr's old friend and neighbour, Tony Lewis.
>
> Mr Lewis denied Mr Corby Sr had any knowledge of the 5kg of marijuana found

>
> But it has emerged a woman made a statement to Queensland police on
> September 16, 2004, implicating Schapelle's father in the transport of drugs
> to Bali.
>
> Kim Moore, a one-time heroin user, tipped off police about Mr Lewis'

> transport of drugs to Bali, a man she later identified as Michael Corby Sr.
>
> "We were having a couple of drinks at the bar and Tony and (deleted) came

> police.
>
> Her statement prompted a crime intelligence report.
>
> The report said; "A person with the name Michael is also involved with the
> transport of these drugs . . . The informant suggests large quantities are
> being moved to Bali."
>
> Ms Moore said Michael Corby Sr was involved in running drugs produced by
> Tony Lewis.
>
> Lateline alleged Mr Corby Sr travelled to Bali on September 4, 2004, just
> four weeks before Schapelle Corby was arrested with 4.2kg of marijuana in a
