Corbys bank on overseas edition

Nick Tabakoff writing in The Australian, May 08, 2008

THE family of drug smuggler Schapelle Corby has opened up a new avenue in its attempt to test proceeds-of-crime laws, with her autobiography, My Story, to be renamed and released overseas within a month.
Global online bookseller Amazon.com has the book - which has been updated and renamed No More Tomorrows - listed for a June 5 release. It will also be in British bookshops from next month.
The international release will pique the interest of the Australian Federal Police. Last year, more than $280,000 in proceeds from My Story and magazine articles was frozen after the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions alleged the money represented proceeds of crime.
Asked last night what, if any, action the body would take given the book was likely to be published overseas, AFP spokesman Andrew Kelly said: "Any investigation in relation to literary proceeds of crime needs to consider where the funds were derived and whether payment falls under Australian jurisdiction for literary proceeds. It would not be appropriate for the AFP to comment any further."
The book's ghost writer, Kathryn Bonella, admitted the overseas release was proceeding: "It's good it's going to get international exposure. It's a story of a shocking injustice."
