Inside the private jet hired by Roxy Jacenko to pick up jailed husband
PR maven Roxy Jacenko has spared no expense in picking up her husband from jail after he was convicted of insider trading, reportedly hiring a $2.7 million private jet to collect him.
Oliver Curtis walked free from Cooma Correctional Centre at about 8.45am on Friday, 12 months after he was jailed in for conspiring to commit 45 illicit trades.
The disgraced investement banker was driven to Cooma's Snowy Mountains Airport in a black Range Rover and was greeted by his two young children with smiles and hugs as he boarded the luxury Cessna Citation Mustang jet.
The five-seater jet is usually hired for short haul corporate or leisure trips and features a cream leather interior and fold out tables.
According to the manufacturer, it is the world’s fastest business jet
The luxurious jet has a single pilot, small crew and can fly up to 35,000ft.
A brand new Cessna Citation Mustang costs up to $2.7 million.

Ms Jacenko visited her husband regularly throughout his time in jail and it's been reported she told their children that "daddy" was in China on business.
The Supreme Court trial was told the former banker made trades between May 27 and June 2008 based on confidential information that Cutis' then-friend John Hartman possessed as an employee of Orion Asset Management.
When sentencing him, Justice Lucy McCallum said the profits from the conspiracy were used to "fund a lifestyle of conspicuous extravagance".
Profits from the scam were spent on a new Mini Cooper, a motorbike, holidays in Whistler and Las Vegas and a luxurious Bondi apartment.
The judge set a maximum of two years in jail but ordered he be released on recognisance after serving a year.
In December, Curtis's appeal against his conviction was dismissed.
