A NEW investigation has linked Schapelle Corby to a trafficking ring that delivered large quantities of amphetamines to Bali.
ABC's PM program has revealed that Corby, currently jailed in Bali's Kerobokan prison, was associated with four men who imported amphetamines to the holiday island four times a year.
The report said Queensland woman Kim Moore, 49, informed on the drug ring after one of the men involved offered marijuana to her intellectually-disabled son.
She told the ABC the amphetamines were wrapped in sticky tar paper and hidden in the false bottom of a suitcase.
"It couldn't be picked up by Customs it just looks like the bottom of a suitcase when scanned," she said.
Moore, who is described by the Crime Intelligence Unit as a "reliable police informant", made the report to police in Gladstone on September 16, 2004, three weeks before Corby was arrested at Denpasar Airport.

She named four men whose identities have not been revealed but who police confirm are associates of Corby.
Police were told the group smuggled amphetamines with couriers using false passports and taking flights that departed on Mondays. Men in the group have drug and robbery convictions.
The information led to a raid on a Gladstone property that yielded "a commercial quantity" of marijuana.
It is believed one of the men arrived in Bali two weeks before Corby's arrest, while another arrived 12 days afterwards.
Roseleigh and Mercedes Corby, Schapelle's mother and sister, condemned the report but refused further comment to the ABC.
