The wives, girlfriends and lovers of Australia's criminal underworld are set to become the subject of a new reality TV show based on the hit US series, Mob Wives.
Fairfax Media can reveal that dozens of potential "stars" have been contacted about participating in the program, which would document the family lives of some of the nation's most notorious gangsters, crims, hitmen and drug dealers.
But the concept is already drawing sharp criticism from police and advocates for crime victims, as well as generating disquiet among some members of Melbourne's underworld.

The mooted cast list sought by the US producers is believed to include Roberta Williams, ex-wife of murdered drug lord Carl Williams, drug kingpin Tony Mokbel's former partner Danielle McGuire, Tony's sister-in-law Renate Mokbel, and prominent criminal lawyer Zarah Garde-Wilson.
