Behind every notorious crime figure there is a wife or girlfriend; or wife and girlfriend. How do these women deal with the world of crime to which their partners expose them? How much do they know? How much do they want to know? What is it that attracts women to criminals? What is it that turns some of these women into criminals themselves? Gangland WAGs is a unique in-depth look at the wives and girlfriends of criminals: a study of what makes them fall for (or put up with) criminal partners; how do they deal with the crime-world culture (infidelity, murders and convictions); how much involvement they really have; and the actual crimes they have committed. Gangland WAGS includes, amongst others: Carl Williams’ former wife, Roberta ‘Bert’ Williams; Lucy Dudko – the gun-toting librarian who hijacked a helicopter to airlift her lover, John Killick, from the maximum security Silverwater prison in 1999; Renata Mokbel – Tony’s sister-in-law who put up, and lost, his $1 mil bail; and Australia’s own ‘catch me if you can’ girl Jodie Harris.
