Eastern suburbs socialite and drug dealer Matthew James Doyle is one step closer to learning his fate as he waits behind bars to be sentenced.

In March, the 31-year-old property developer admitted to supplying more than 300kg of cocaine in a sting set up by police between April and September last year.

On Monday morning NSW Crime Commission lawyer Sankami Santhikumar told the Supreme Court Doyle would have his sentence hearing on July 2, 2020.

Doyle has also pleaded guilty to dealing with $220,000 worth of proceeds of crime.

In the Supreme Court, Registrar Karen Jones stood the matter over for a directions hearing on September 28 and asked Ms Santhikumar to inform Doyle.

Doyle faces life behind bars for the serious offences, which involved two other party boys.

His private schoolboy mate Jared “Jazza” Hart, 30, and Raoul Kesby have both pleaded guilty to supplying 50kg of cocaine.

Before their arrest, Doyle and his glamorous publicist wife Kelsea Doyle, who once worked for fashion brand Camilla and Marc, enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle and a growing property portfolio across Sydney.

But he fell from grace last year when police arrested him, Hart and Kesby at a Marrickville storage unit allegedly trying to access a huge cocaine shipment after the five-month operation.

Kelsea Doyle is not accused of any wrongdoing.

According to facts released by the NSW District Court, detectives had been listening in to Doyle as he planned to receive 300kg of cocaine worth about $80 million.

Court documents state Doyle said he “was not a gangster but a businessman and loved money and loved making money for people and making friends”.
