Chief Magistrate Tim Carmody hits out at lazy process in bikie bail applications THE state's chief magistrate has blasted police prosecutors and defence lawyers for being too "lazy" to enforce the state's new anti-bikie laws. Chief Magistrate Tim Carmody, QC, yesterday demanded both parties provide more evidence to support bail applications in the latest test of the laws. Alleged patched members of the Hells Angels outlaw motorcycle club - twins Bruno and Nuno Da Silva, 36, alleged sergeant-at-arms Michael Kenneth Spence, 23, and alleged associate Ryan Troy Best, 25 - were remanded in custody overnight after Mr Carmody said he required more evidence to release the group or keep them behind bars. In a legal argument that lasted nearly two hours in the Brisbane Magistrates Court, Mr Carmody said there was a "new regime" for bail applications. Perlickis Zamagias outside court. "I want evidence to base bail decisions on - in my court anyway," he said. Have we fallen into a lazy process where police make statements that aren't challenged? During the proceedings, he remarked: "we live in extraordinary times." When remanding the four men in custody, Mr Carmody directed the prosecution to provide evidence to support the assertions being made against the group. "I consider there has been insufficient time for the parties to properly investigate and prove enough information to the court," he said. The men were among a group charged following drug raids across the southeast targeting the criminal activities of the Hells Angels on Tuesday. Former Broncos player Spence has been charged over his alleged role in a $2.5 million amphetamine ring allegedly peddled from the Da Silva brother's Millennium Locks business at East Brisbane. Chief magistrate Tim Carmody. Police allege he was a stand-over man collecting drug debts for the Da Silvas and in one instance allegedly "bashed" associate Perlickis Zamagias, who "whinged" about it. Of the men picked up during the police raids targeting the Hells Angels, Zamagias, 42, was the only one to be released on bail by Mr Carmody. It is understood police will allege Zamagias was a customer of the Da Silva brothers. Police also allege that on October 17 Bruno counted $2000 in front of Spence in the office of the brothers' business and Spence received a portion of the money the following day. The court heard police intercepted text messages sent from Spence to people and their families who had drug debts, allegedly threatening to harm them. Yesterday the prosecution wasn't able to produce copies of the text messages. "It is an extraordinary thing that an allegation as serious as that would be asserted where there appears to be no evidence at all," Jeff Hunter QC, for Spence, said. Mr Hunter said the new laws clearly laid out that they only applied to offences that occurred from the commencement of the legislation, not retrospectively. The laws were passed on October 17 and the 14-month investigation that resulted in the latest arrests concluded on October 20, leaving just a three day window for the prosecution to link their men's actions to a criminal organisation. Mr Hunter criticised the "tardiness" of the prosecution's case. If that's the best the prosecution can do it's not good enough. "In light of the current political environment you would like to think the prosecution would be astute to the provisions of the act," he said. When arguing for Spence to be released on bail, Mr Hunter said he was concerned for his client's health after he was denied his bipolar medication when in the police watchhouse on Wednesday afternoon. The groups co-accused, Neville Desmond Rohl, did not apply for bail and has been remanded in custody to reappear on January 20. Robert Wyatt was also picked up in the sting but did not appear in court yesterday as it's believed he was taken to hospital with chest pains. Zamagias will front court again on January 20. The Da Silvas, Spence and Best are expected to face court today.
