Police seize ’mystery man’ tape

-

COLOMBIAN police have seized the only piece of evidence that may prove Cassie Sainsbury’s innocence – CCTV footage of mystery man Angelo.

It comes as Sainsbury’s South Australian family finally started their journey to visit her in jail.

Their trek comes four weeks after Cassie was arrested and only after signing a lucrative exclusive contract with 60 Minutes.

Meanwhile, local police appeared to take the first step in investigat­ing her claim she was set up as a drug mule.

Hotelier Ingrid Hernandez confirmed yesterday that Bogota police had visited her downtown hotel to view and retrieve footage of the only visitor Sainsbury received in her eight-night stay there.

It is a month today since Sainsbury was arrested at El Dorado Internatio­nal Airport with 5.8kg of cocaine in the blue suitcase she had checked in to fly home to Australia.

She claims she was tricked by the man she met shortly after arriving on April 3.
