Alleged Mongols bikie charged with associating other bikies at Palazzo Versace withdraws bail application to reapply in Supreme Court. AN ALLEGED Mongols bikie accused of illegally associating with fellow gang members at the Palazzo Versace hotel has withdrawn his bail application after a landmark court challenge on the Gold Coast. Bradley Maurice Baker, 26, of Woodvale in West Australia, was arrested last week after trying to check into the hotel in the company of alleged Gold Coast Mongols members James Cleave and Leslie Markham. The men became the first to be charged under the new anti-association laws and are accused of being participants in criminal organisation while being knowingly present in a public place. Baker's bid for immediate bail last week was stymied by a new court rule from Chief Magistrate Tim Carmody requiring all contested bikie bail applications to be heard in Brisbane. Baker's solicitor Michael Gatenby challenged the court practice direction declaring it ``invalid" and demanding police prove his client was a current bikie member. Police alleged the proof was in Baker's prominent facial tattoo ``Mongols MC" and the ``Mongols" cap he was wearing at the time. After a week of delays Magistrate John Costanzo yesterday rejected the challenge and ordered the bail application be heard fully in Brisbane as per the court rule. Upon the ruling, Mr Gatenby withdrew the bail application and is expected to make a fresh application in the Supreme Court in the coming weeks. Baker remains behind bars and his case was adjourned for mention to January 16. Cleave and Markham are represented by Potts Lawyers and will face court today. The three alleged Mongols members were arrested after being spotted together at the Gold Coast's luxurious Palazzo Versace hotel.
