Champion jockey Chris Munce

Champion jockey Chris Munce will fly into Sydney today as part of a prisoner exchange deal with authorities in Hong Kong.

The 37-year-old was jailed for 30 months for his role in a tips-for-bets scam.

New South Wales Attorney-General John Hatzistergos says he will be assessed before being resettled in an Australian prison.

"He'll be taken to the metropolitan remand and reception centre, where he'll undergo an assessment and classification, before being placed in a centre to serve his sentence," he said.
