Corby's boyfriend arrested in Bali on drug charges
Convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby may have breached her parole conditions after her boyfriend was arrested on drugs charges.
Police say Ben Panangian, 32, was allegedly caught with marijuana in a Bali street, and more drugs were found inside a wardrobe at his Kuta home.
It is understood Panangian faces a maximum 12 years behind bars.
Panangian was reportedly arrested in Nusa Dua on August 20.

Corby was released from jail in February but must stay away from drugs and crime as part of her parole conditions, which also require her to stay in Bali under monthly supervision.
But a Denpasar police spokesman would not confirm whether Corby would be investigated, saying the pair's relationship was not clear.
The pair met while they were both serving time at Kerobokan Prison for drug offences.

Panangian was allegedly busted by police while they were conducting another raid in Nusa Dua, News Corp reports.
It is also reported Panangian threw two packages on the street after he was approached by officers.

Some reports claim the sting was a set-up due to Corby's high profile.
