Roberta Williams revealed on Tuesday the shocking moment her grandson was paid EUR$50 (AUD$89) from the ‘tooth fairy’.
The gangland widow, 56, of notorious Melbourne crime figure Carl Williams shared an image to Instagram which showed the young boy grinning while holding a euro note.
He appeared to be laying in bed, showing his teeth to the camera, as he held up the EUR$50 bill, with Roberta affectionately saying he had been ‘spoilt’.
‘My littlest one and only. The tooth fairy spoilt you while on holidays,’ she wrote alongside the family photo.
She then went on to say she ‘missed’ her grandson ‘so much’ before begging the boy’s mother—her daughter Breanane—to bring him home to Australia.
Breanane, 30, is currently on holiday in Sicily with her family.

‘I miss you so much. @breanane bring my baby boy home like 5 weeks ago. Yes I’m missing him so bad,’ Roberta wrote.
It comes just a few months after Roberta marked the 15th anniversary of her husband Carl’s death by sharing a tribute alongside a photo of their wedding day.
The widow of the notorious Melbourne crime figure took to Instagram in April to post a series of intimate throwback images of the pair.
The lead image showed a beaming Roberta in her bridal gown beside Carl, who sported his trademark blond tips and a wide smile.
In the grainy but touching photo, the pair were captured in a candid moment of joy, frozen in time before Carl’s life was tragically cut short inside Barwon Prison in 2010.
’15 years ago today I got a phone call that destroyed my world, my whole life, to never be the same again,’ Roberta wrote in the caption.
‘There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about you, that I don’t miss hearing your voice.’
The wedding images showed the couple in their prime—Roberta radiant in a satin halter-neck gown, while Carl appeared relaxed and proud in a dark jacket.

Another image from the same day showed them side-by-side outdoors, smiling together beneath soft afternoon light – a rare glimpse into their private love story.
‘The road’s been rough and it feels like it’s only getting rougher as time moves on without you,’ Roberta continued in her tribute.
‘It hurts, it’s hurts so bad because grief is challenging, it’s painful, hateful and some days it tears through me like a freight train.’
Carl, once dubbed the ‘Baby Faced Killer,’ was bludgeoned to death in his cell while serving time for multiple murders linked to Melbourne’s gangland war.
His violent end shocked the nation and sparked a wave of public scrutiny into Victoria’s prison system.
