AUSTRALIAN taxpayers have reportedly picked up the bill for Cassandra Sainsbury’s $100,000 legal defence after she tried smuggling cocaine out of Colombia.
The 22-year-old was yesterday sentenced to six years’ jail and ordered to pay a $130,000 fine after pleading guilty to drug trafficking.
While the Australian government won’t cover the Adelaide woman’s fine, Seven News reported taxpayers will pay for her five months of legal assistance.
