A glamorous former real estate agent has suffered a drug downfall after she was swept up in a major steroid trafficking operation allegedly controlled by her fitness influencer partner.

Belinda Gailey, 38, fronted Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday where she admitted multiple drug possession charges.

Gailey was pinched with a plethora of drugs at Crown Towers on December 8 last year.

The court heard Gailey was caught with meth, 25 valium tablets, a 100gm of 1,4 butanediol, an ice pipe and synthetic peptide ‘BPC-157’.

Gailey “traditionally” worked in real estate but was on the dole and studying in the “fitness and health area”, the court was told.

The defence also submitted Gailey, who admitted meth and 1,4 bute possession charges, was not a “traditional drug user”.

“She became caught up in … this is a much smaller crime in a much larger operation,” the defence submitted.

“Her partner (Nathan Williamson) is alleged to have been the main target of that (operation).”

Williamson, a prominent “fitness influencer” and bodybuilder, is contesting his charges and is scheduled to front a pre-trial hearing at the County Court on August 14.

Gailey was arrested after police raided the Crown Towers apartment she shared with Williamson.

Investigators were targeting Williamson who was allegedly involved in a large illicit steroid trafficking racket.

Police allegedly seized millions of dollars worth of steroids and medicine and more than $300,000 in cash at various addresses including a Docklands apartment and a Port Melbourne gym.

Police alleged Williamson and co-accused Daniel Tenace, who both work as personal trainers, bought drugs from overseas suppliers and resold locally.

It’s alleged Williamson and Tenace sold drugs online, through a gym and moved illicit substances to undercover cops.

Williamson and Tenace were later charged with multiple offences including trafficking a commercial quantity of prescription medication, trafficking anabolic steroids, trafficking diazepam and knowingly deal with the proceeds of crime.

Police, at the time, said it was the largest bust of its kind in Victoria and the men’s many alleged customers included organised crime figures.

The investigation had been running for seven months and involved cross-agency information sharing with the AFP.

The AFP also carried out warrants and arrested several people connected to the alleged syndicate.

The suspected syndicate also allegedly also moved steroids into the ACT and NSW.

Investigators also allegedly seized about $100,000 worth of steroids from inside a “sophisticated drug distribution centre”

Northwest metro regional crime squad detective inspector Patrick Watkinson highlighted the significance of the haul after a seven-month investigation.

“These steroids have been used beyond just the gym environment and that’s what grabbed our attention,” Inspector Watkinson said in December.

“This type of drug investigation is currently the largest of its type in Victoria and has been for some time.

“(Police) were drawn to this type of investigation because of the connections with organised crime entities not only in Victoria but across the eastern board.

He said police had sought to “limit the networks” of the organised crime groups involved, with a Port Melbourne gym among the locations searched.

Gailey avoided a conviction.

“One address was a gym which had a large amount of steroids in there.

“You may be sitting in there thinking this is purely just steroids and not a big impact on the community but we’re looking at the bigger picture here that the drugs are being used to facilitate criminal entities’ lifestyles.

“We’re also looking at a large profit made from the sale of these drugs.”

Magistrate Malcolm Thomas said he was “concerned” by the amount of 1,4 butanediol Gailey admitted possession to.

“You’ve been given the one opportunity you’re going to get,” Magistrate Thomas Said.

“You need to be very, very careful with who you associate with because they will drag you down and you will end up in a position where you have criminal convictions …

“Potentially even end up in jail.”

Gailey, who has no priors, avoided a conviction and was granted diversion.

Williamson, who supported Gailey at court, and Tenace will front court at a later date.
