A Melbourne glamour girl accused of dealing drugs was allegedly nabbed at a cop shop with multiple bags of cocaine stashed in her bra.

Jamile Kaldawi, 30, fronted Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Thursday charged with trafficking cocaine and dealing with suspected proceeds of crime.

Kaldawi – aka Jamila Kaldawi – was allegedly nabbed at Prahran with drugs and cash on March 5, 2021.

The court heard police watched a female enter Kaldawi’s stationary Holden Commodore, speak to the accused drug dealer for 30 seconds then exit the vehicle which was parked on Victoria St.

Investigators tailed Kaldawi a short distance before pulling her over.

Police searched Kaldawi’s car and allegedly found four deal bags containing cocaine hidden in a small box.

It’s alleged police also found $985 stashed in the glove box, a Samsung mobile and Temazepam.

The court heard Kaldawi, of Dandenong North, was arrested and hauled to Prahran police station.

Investigators examined Kaldawi’s phone and allegedly located evidence of cocaine trafficking.

Police searched Kaldawi at the station where it was alleged more than 20 grams of cocaine fell out of her bra.

Kaldawi made no comment about the cocaine and the cash but admitted possessing the Temazepam to “self medicate” for anxiety.

The defence submitted Kaldawi, who faced court for a sentence indication hearing, came from a hardworking family and the “offending” was an “outlier”.

The court heard Kaldawi works full-time as a logistic co-ordinator for a transport company.

but also studies psychology at Swinburne University and hopes to “gain employment in that field”.

The defence submitted Kaldawi was in a “volatile relationship” at the time of the alleged offending.

“(The ex-partner) exposed her to cocaine use and manipulated her to do his bidding so they could support they’re own use,” the defence submitted.

However, Kaldawi, in a hazy submission, told the court she broke up with her boyfriend during a timeline which was prior to her alleged drug bust.

“He kind of used me to pay for it (drug debt),” Kaldawi said.

“He was just sucking me in, making me feel bad and kind of doing the whole love-bombing thing …

“I don’t know but I kind just fell for it … fell for all the tricks … that’s just where it all led me and I was scared …”

The defence called for Kaldawi to avoid a conviction so she could pursue her psychology dreams.

Magistrate Felicity Broughton, who indicated a community correction order was in range, said the defence had a problem with Kaldawi’s history.

“Your client said she broke up (with her ex) Two-and-a-half years ago … so that’s a real problem …,” Magistrate Broughton said.

“ (Kaldawi) has come into the criminal justice system in a very serious way.

“She hasn’t landed with a shop theft … there are more serious matters and it needs to be dealt with …”

Kaldawi, who rejected Magistrate Broughton’s CCO indication, will face court at a later date.
