The fiance of accused drug smuggler Cassie Sainsbury has reportedly fled Colombia in fear of his life.
Scott Broadbridge is believed to have made a hasty exit from the South American country just hours before tell-all interviews are set to go air on Australian television.
Sainsbury’s Australian lawyers lodged an urgent injunction in the NSW Supreme Court against a Channel Seven report being broadcast at 8.30pm.
But the broadcaster prevailed in court and will show the report after a judge dismissed the case, according to News Corp.
‘I dismiss the plaintiff’s application and there is no restraint on Channel Seven in relation to their Sunday program this evening,’ Justice John Sackar said in court.
Previews hinted that Mr Broadbridge would concede she would confess her role in smuggling 5.8 kilograms of cocaine out of Colombia via Bogota Airport last month.
He was also expected to explain what he knows about the international drug syndicate behind the alleged cocaine deal, including why Sainsbury was in Colombia.
Sainsbury, who was still behind bars in Colombia, was understood to have given her partner permission to sell his side of the story.
Mr Broadbridge, 23, is also set to be questioned over his knowledge of his partner’s trip to Colombia a her trial draws closer on Channel Nine’s 60 Minutes.
‘We have established here, had it confirmed from the prosecutor’s office, that the Colombian prosecutor now considers Scott, the fiance, a person of interest in the investigation,’ reporter Liam Bartlett said, according to the Herald Sun.
