Banged up Abroad

In 1993 Brendan Cosso was partying and mixing with celebrities in Hollywood. He didn't need the money, but when the offer came to smuggle cocaine out of Brazil for $50,000, he took it. He was arrested with three friends at Sao Paulo airport. Thanks to the efforts of his father in securing a top criminal lawyer, Brendan received a sentence of four years rather than the 25 demanded by the prosecution.
