Former television star Matt Wright has been sentenced to jail. A court found him guilty of lying to police during an investigation into a fatal helicopter crash.
Wright, famous from the Netflix series "Wild Croc Territory," was involved in the 2022 incident. The crash resulted in the death of his colleague, Chris Wilson.
The court ruled that Wright tampered with evidence and gave false statements to authorities. This obstructed the investigation into the crash's cause.
His sentencing marks a dramatic fall from fame for the well-known crocodile wrangler. The case has drawn significant attention in Australia, where the crash occurred.
