Surprise detail after couple’s alleged flight act
The glamorous Australian daughter of late Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos, accused of drunken acts on a Jetstar flight to Sydney, clutched a $700 lobster handbag as she left court, cleared to travel to Indonesia.
Analisa Josefa Corr, 53, and partner James Alexander Corr, 45, appeared before Downing Centre Local Court on Friday for a bail review after pleading not guilty to a string of charges related to the December 28 flight.
Police allege the couple were intoxicated and drinking alcohol they had brought aboard flight JQ720 from Hobart, with Ms Corr further alleged to have grabbed and shaken another passenger while leaving the plane toilet.
Appearing before the court on Friday, Ms Corr’s lawyer, Jasmina Ceic, applied for the former dictator’s daughter to be returned her passport and allowed to leave Australia for the Southeast Asian island nation of Indonesia.
“We’re seeking Ms Corr’s passport be returned. She is currently undertaking a project in Indonesia and intends to stay there under a temporary stay certificate until March,” Ms Ceic told deputy chief magistrate Michael Antrum.
Ms Corr strutted confidently out of court following her bail review success on Friday, clutching her husband in one hand and a Shore Thing Lobster Crossbody handbag from American fashion house Kate Spade in the other.
The bag retails for about $670 - or, more than $1000 second-hand.
The 53-year-old had no comment to add on behalf of herself or Mr Corr as she swiftly passed reporters.
Under revised bail conditions, both Ms Corr and her husband would be barred from consuming alcohol in any international point of departure as well as on-board any plane and would provide a $20,000 surety each.
If either of the pair breached their bail conditions, the court was told the sum would be forfeited, with Mr Corr’s lawyer, Rima Dabliz, also calling for a residential condition on the former soldier to be revoked in court.
The court was told Mr Corr would also be overseas and had a single charge of driving with a low-range PCA. An application seeking a complete dispensation with Mr Corr’s bail was rejected by Mr Antrum.
Ms Corr is the daughter of Mr Marcos, who ruled the Philippines from 1965 until he was ousted by a pro-democracy movement in 1986, and Australian-born fashion runway model, Evelin Hegyesi.
Her half-brother, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr, is the president, and according to her website, Ms Corr describes herself as an interior designer and boudoir photographer based out of the Gold Coast.
“I love to show the true beauty and spirit of everyday women. For years, I have shot for many international magazines and won several portrait awards … This is what I love doing most,” Ms Corr said on her Linked.
Recent social media posts from before the charges were laid, and before the accounts were restricted, stated Ms Corr and her husband intended to return home to Australia for the holidays after travelling to southeast Asia.
A YouTube video posted by the pair late last year showed them aboard a yacht.
They will reappear before the same court on February 24 for a mention.
