Olympic kayaker Nathan Baggaley’s brother claims he was tricked into attempting to import $200 million worth of cocaine and should be released pending his appeal.
The brother of Olympic kayaker Nathan Baggaley claims he was tricked into attempting to import $200 million worth of cocaine and should be released pending his appeal.
The brothers were found guilty by a Brisbane Supreme Court jury in April 2021 of attempting to import cocaine. “I’m sorry I tricked you. I had no choice. I was told to say it was tobacco,” one of the letters to Dru Baggaley stated.“These letters are exculpatory of Mr Baggaley. All a jury has to find is that the contents of letters could reasonably be possibly true,” Holt said.Justice Melanie Hindman told Holt she would have to be convinced Baggaley was not a flight risk or that he would reoffend.
Justice Hindman said she was also concerned Baggaley had proposed to live while on bail in northern NSW near where he had previously committed other offences.
