Trial date on steroid import rap

A GOLD Coast bikini model with links to a killer bikie will stand trial in Melbourne over allegations she was part of a group trafficking steroids between the Ukraine, China and Australia.

Raquel Yasmine Petit (below) will face the County Court on 47 charges including trafficking a commercial quantity of steroids and dealing with $46,920 suspected of being proceeds of crime.

She also faces 42 charges relating to making, using and producing false documents.

The swimwear designer, 25, has pleaded not guilty.

Petit’s ex-boyfriend, Mongols bikie Wade Yates-Taui, was last year sentenced to 7½ years’ jail over the stabbing death of a Bandidos bikie associate in Queensland. The pair are no longer together.

Court documents allege Petit and two co-accused were part of the operation between 2015 and 2016 to import steroids and have them delivered to post office boxes.

Police allege she sent $46,920 to Ukraine and China, from where the steroids were sourced.

The two co-accused are also alleged to have trafficked cocaine and methamphetamine, but police say Petit was not involved in that.

Magistrate Peter Reardon found sufficient evidence for Petit to stand trial and ordered she face the County Court on Monday.

The former Miss V8 Super Cars grid girl was charged on November 13 last year.
