BEAUTY queen Felicia Djamirze allegedly snorted coke and discussed money laundering in front of hidden police cameras – and was even concerned her pet dogs could be exposed to drugs.

The Courier-Mail can reveal the former Miss Australia International and Miss Tourism was caught up in a major police investigation involving covert cameras, phone taps, tracking devices and surveillance.

STUNNER: ‘Cops blew up my face’

Detectives were targeting her lover, alleged Rebels bikie associate Dean Grant O’Donnell, an unemployed bodybuilder accused of ruthlessly running the ice trade in Hervey Bay and Maryborough.

The operation allegedly caught the couple snorting a cocaine-like substance at home on multiple days.

Hidden cameras allegedly captured one incident where the pair were snorting “coke” and Ms Djamirze became concerned her pups could consume the drug when it spilt on the kitchen floor. The couple had pedigree french bulldog pups.

“Don’t be dropping coke on the floor or the dogs will lick it up or snort it,” Djamirze is alleged to have said.

Men linked to O’Donnell’s drug ring had carried out a series of bashings involving baseball bats but scared victims refused to lodge formal complaints, police allege.

He is also alleged to have lived an extravagant lifestyle, with police finding a series of luxury branded items at his home, including Louis Vuitton dog collars and a $2100 Versace man purse.

Ms Djamirze, 28, suffered severe injuries when a police “flash” grenade exploded in her face in a drug raid as she slept next to O’Donnell last week, The Courier-Mail reported yesterday.

The model, who says she is a first-year University of Western Sydney law student, says the blast has put her eyesight at risk and destroyed her good looks and is planning to sue.

Similar stun grenade injuries in the US have led to million-dollar compensation payouts.

Details behind the raids – including police concerns for their safety because of O’Donnell’s alleged access to firearms – can now be revealed.

On one occasion O’Donnell and Ms Djamirze were allegedly snorting white powder from a plate when she said: “I have worked out what you do.”

They went on to discuss the “lies” O’Donnell had told her at the start of the relationship, when he had spent $5000 in a night “like it was nothing”.

Ms Djamirze allegedly said she understood his actions, because O’Donnell would not have known if she would tell the police if they broke up.

Police will allege that on other occasions O’Donnell and Ms Djamirze discussed the drug trade and money laundering.

Discussing plans to sell their french bulldog pups for up to $30,000, Ms Djamirze is alleged to have said: “All the money you get from the litter you can put on the mortgage as clean money.”

On multiple days O’Donnell, 35, was also allegedly recorded injecting steroids with a friend at his home.

Police will allege O’Donnell was frequently tracked to a bush location where he had hidden coolers under bark and branches.

A hidden camera at the bush site allegedly recorded O’Donnell as he pulled out a handgun and a shotgun stored there and photographed them with his phone before putting them back again. He has past convictions for illegal possession of firearms.

Among the bashings allegedly linked to O’Donnell’s ice ring, police say one victim was taken to hospital with a 15cm head wound.

At another property a member of the public called police after hearing screams coming from a Maryborough home.

A group of four men had been seen arriving at the property with baseball bats.

When police arrived they found a man who appeared to have a broken arm but told police he had fallen over.

In tapped phone calls, O’Donnell and the president of the Northern Territory Rebels allegedly discussed moving to Western Australia and opening a chapter of the outlaw motorcycle club.

Jobless, O’Donnell was allegedly living beyond his means, with his purchases including a quad bike and a black Chrysler.

Ms Djamirze wrote on Facebook last month that she had become engaged, posting a photograph of a ring with a large red ruby.

She has been charged with drug trafficking but denies the allegations.

O’Donnell is facing 13 drug and weapons charges.

Police allege they found 2kg of ice and a total of seven firearms during a series of raids linked to O’Donnell last week.
