Multi-millionaire Husband Offers Hitman $80,000 To Murder Model Wife Because She Wanted A Career...

Monica tried to relaunch her acting and modeling career at the end of 2010 but her husband objected from the get-go, according to the source close to the investigation.

And when he discovered she had also done an underwear shoot with fashion photographer Kenneth Matthews he 'hit the roof;' 

Their relationship fell apart and they began a bitter custody battle over their two daughters. Some months later Monica discovered her husband had been taped trying to hire a friend to kill her.

Monica Olsen (pictured), 32, gave up her catwalk career to marry the former waste disposal magnate turned vitamin tycoon Dino Guglielmelli (inset) in 2003. But after the births of their two daughters she wanted to return to work. Already a successful businesswoman she relaunched her modelling career with this shoot. But a source said: 'He became insanely jealous. He told her she needed to stay home and care for their daughters'. The divorced and Guglielmelli is accused of trying to get a friend to kill her.

'He told her she needed to stay home and care for their daughters. By now Monica was concerned for her own safety. His anger was uncontrollable.

'But she insisted she wanted her career back. And that's when things turned really ugly. He banned her from having a life of her own.

'He stopped her doing anymore movie shoots, he killed a possible movie deal.

'That's when Monica knew she needed to leave him. And Dino went crazy. 

He was a control freak who needed to be win at everything. It was then he allegedly hired the hitman.'

As his behavior became more bizarre, Montreal-born Monica asked him to leave their Canyon Country, Santa Clarita, ranch. 

She claims he responded by demanding custody of their daughters and calling cops to accuse her of attacking him. Monica spent a terrifying night in a jail cell, then filed for divorce.

But in October major case detectives from Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department told her they’d arrested Guglielmelli for attempted murder.

Guglielmelli allegedly offered ex Army veteran Richard Fuhrmann $80,000 to kill Monica. The would-be hitman went to the police, then secretly recorded a 90-minute lunch conversation. 

On the tapes, which were played during a pre-trial hearing at a San Fernando court, Guglielmelli is heard saying: 'I’ll be happy when it is all over.'

 After discussing 'specifics' on how to get rid of Monica, he then asks Furhmann: 'There’s no way for them to track it back to me?'

And he is also heard on tape reassuring Furhmann: 'You’re going to get paid. Don’t worry about that – I’ve got you covered.'

The burly 52-year-old is set to stand trial next month on attempted murder and solicitation to murder charges.
