A glitzy former banker who is now a beautician barely escaped going to prison after being captured peddling cocaine from her Audi outside a well-liked nightclub.
Anastasija Radovic, 23, was sentenced to 18 months of good behaviour and handed a community corrections order when she appeared in Sutherland Local Court in Sydney on Tuesday.
The aspiring model, who often posts pictures of herself online in bikinis, was also fined $400 and must attend her psychologist appointments for an additional six months.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Magistrate Hugh Donnelly acknowledged her “little involvement” in the crime, expressed sorrow for her behaviour, said she was behaving out of character, and noted improvements in her mental health since her arrest.
On July 11, 2020, police pounced on Radovic outside the Northies Cronulla Hotel and discovered 22 little sachets of cocaine and 5.93 grammes of marijuana inside her high-end vehicle.
When Anastasija Radovic (pictured), 23, appeared in Sutherland Local Court on Tuesday, she was handed a community corrections order, ordered to spend 18 months on good behaviour, fined $400, and ordered to continue seeing her psychologist for another six months.
On June 6, Radovic admitted guilt to three drug-related offences.
She was additionally charged with dealing with the profits of crime and selling illegal substances, but the extra offences were ultimately dropped by the prosecution.
Radovic formerly worked at Commonwealth Bank, but now she will be hired as a beauty therapist at Nova Bar Beauty in Gregory Hills, per her social media sites.
In her StarNow profile bio, Radovic mentions that she is a “Sydney-based model interested in all types of modelling work” and that she placed in the top three in the 2017 Australian Supermodel of the Year competition in Bali.
The court was informed that Radovic, who was then employed as a banker, arrived to the hotel in a black Audi A3 with Bojana Mladenovic at about 10.20 p.m.
Police officers were searching for suppliers sending off illegal narcotics to partygoers in the Cronulla region, which is a hub for drug distribution on Friday and Saturday nights, when they came across the car.
The aspiring model was detained on July 11, 2020, in front of the Northies Cronulla Hotel (pictured), when police discovered 22 little sachets of cocaine and 5.93 grammes of marijuana in her vehicle.
On June 6, Radovic appeared in court and admitted guilt to three drug-related offences.
As she approached the Audi from the venue’s direction, a second lady gestured at it and stepped inside before the vehicle left.
Before stopping on Mitchell Road after driving for a number of blocks, the lady got out and began to walk back towards the club.
Before beginning a search, police stopped the automobile and discovered Radovic behind the wheel and Mladenovic in the front passenger seat.
Officers discovered 22 little transparent packets packed with a white powder that ultimately tested positive as 13.5g of cocaine and a medium-sized coffee cup that contained cannabis on the centre console.
Additionally, a blister pack of the prescription sedative Diazepam was found inside a case for sunglasses.
According to her social media pages, Radovic aspires to be a model and a cosmetician.
In addition to being charged with having illegal substances and distributing between an indictable and commercial amount, Radovic was also detained and transported to the Sutherland Police Station.
Additionally detained and accused of drug dealing was Mladenovic.
By letting Mladenovic use her automobile, Radovic was allegedly complicit in the supply of cocaine, according to the police’s claims in court.
Mladenovic entered a guilty plea and was given 100 hours of unpaid community service in addition to an intensive correction order that was to be completed in the community for nine months starting on July 12, 2016.
