Renata Laureano-Lovett went on to marry and have a family after her brief moment of fame. By Aprilthe caged Williams had split with his wife Roberta and the lonely criminal had bragged about being written to by a swathe of other women. Ms Laureano had appeared on the front page of a Melbourne paper supporting Williams in court. It sent the press into a frenzy and it was soon revealed who the stunning year old was. Despite Ms Laureano apparently never having any form of physical relationship with Williams, she came under the wrath of Roberta, who reportedly called her a 'trashy piece of effing carnage'. Moments before the Underbelly: The Gangland War of Williams's Victorian Supreme Court pre-sentence hearing that year, Roberta tapped on the glass window behind her husband in the courtroom dock and said to him: 'Pick her or your daughter. Ms Laureano was sitting just metres from her at the hearing - separated only by the gangster's parents, George and Barbara Williams. Renata Laureano-Lovett has got on with her life outside of the criminal underworld spotlight. Williams was murdered the following year in a secure unit of Barwon Prison after he agreed to turn rat Underbelly: The Gangland War fellow criminals in exchange for extraordinary concessions from Victorian authorities. Today, Ms Laureano-Lovett has kids of her own and continues to keep fit. When approached by Daily Mail Australia at her home, Ms Laureano- Lovett was polite, if not a little shocked that journalists were still seeking her out years after her brief moment in the spotlight. Carl also wrote about another woman, who some might argue indirectly caused his own death. In a letter published by Daily Mail Australia last month, Williams revealed he believed his lawyer was a double agent who had helped police turn his hitman into a police snitch.

In the Underbelly: The Gangland War of the Informer scandal, Williams believed she could still get back the Primrose Street property, which was seized to repay her family's tax debt. The house had belonged to her father-in-law George, who left the property to granddaughter Dhakota when he died. But he'd also promised it to the tax office as collateral for his debt, and on Saturday it was sold before auction for an undisclosed amount. Roberta and daughter Dhakota are set to star in a Kardashians-style reality TV. Underbelly: The Gangland War Mcguire was played by the stunning Madeline West in s Underbelly series.

Underbelly: The Gangland War (Underbelly #12) by John Silvester The Melbourne gangland killings were the murders of Underbelly: The Gangland War criminal underworld figures in Melbourne between January and August The murders were in a series of retributive killings involving various underworld groups. The deaths caused a sustained power vacuum within Melbourne's criminal community, as various factions fought for control and influence. Many of the murders remain unsolved, although detectives from the Purana Taskforce believe that Carl Williams was responsible for at least 10 of them. Since the confession of Williams, the ultimate source of the violence has become public knowledge. On his 29th birthday, while meeting with Jason Moran and his half brother Mark Moran on 13 October at a suburban park in Gladstone ParkJason Moran shot Carl Williams in the stomach over a dispute about money relating to their amphetamine trade. The murder of former lawyer Mario Condello on 6 February caused speculation of a possible resurgence in the killings, although this was denied by police. The majority of underworld crime figures and major incidents can be traced back to the Painters and Dockers Union that existed on Melbourne's waterfront after the Second World War. The Union had a Mafia -like structure, and most criminal activity was centred around control of the Union, and the cut associated with the drugs primarily heroin and cocaine that passed through the port. The Melbourne Markets were seen as a natural distribution point for these illegal substances they were just across the road from the docks area. By the local manufacture of amphetamines had increased to the point where the police described Melbourne as the " amphetamine capital of Australia ". The genesis of the underworld conflict can be traced to the arrest of John Underbelly: The Gangland War Samuel Higgsthen Australia's number one trafficker of amphetamines. Higgs was a well-connected criminal with a wide network of contacts both in the underworld and among corrupt police, and it took several years in one of the country's most expensive criminal investigations to finally convict him of drug trafficking charges.
