The former wife of union heavyweight John Setka has been found guilty of threatening to kill the CFMEU boss and ordered to pay a non-conviction fine of $1500.

In a hearing at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday, Magistrate Leon Fluxman said Emma Walters, 47, had uttered the threats to private investigator Adrian Peeters, knowing that he would probably fear that she would carry out the act.
