The accused getaway driver for two gunmen who carried out the "execution" murder of an exiled bikie gang member has been denied bail.
Peter Michael Cummins allegedly aidedeight other defendants to murder Shane Bowden, an alleged Mongols motorcycle club "turncoat".
Mr Bowden, 47, was fatally shot 21 times by two hooded gunmen, one armed with a fully automatic pistol and one with a shotgun, in the driveway of his Gold Coast home just after midnight on October 12, 2020.
Justice Lincoln Crowley handed down the bail decision in the Supreme Court on Wednesday after hearing the application on Tuesday.
Crown prosecutor Bradley White said Cummins was accused of acting as the getaway driver in an operation with "military" levels of planning aimed at killing a man who allegedly left the Mongols for rival gang The Finks.
"This was an execution. They used high-powered weapons. This was not a heat-of-the-moment murder, it's not a one-punch death in the pub. This was premeditated," Mr White said.
"They tested the firearms beforehand. It was very sophisticated."
Mr White said the co-accused had planned the shooting using encrypted mobile phones after following Mr Bowden using a GPS tracker hidden on his car.
A phone registered to Cummins was recorded in the same locations as an encrypted mobile and an iPhone 6 handset linked to the GPS tracker in the days before the shooting, Justice Crowley heard.
Mr White said the prosecution's case against Cummins and the other co-accused would collapse if key witnesses were at risk of "going missing".
Defence barrister Scott Lynch said the case against his client was weak and he was not a member of the Mongols.
"It will be a couple of years before this case gets on and he's already been in custody for more than three-and-a-half years," Mr Lynch said.
Justice Crowley previously heard Cummins wanted to work to support his family if granted bail and it was difficult to help prepare his defence to a complex case while in custody.
Mr White said Cummins had Mongols tattoos on his hands and fingers, and had been recorded talking about joining a new chapter of the bikie gang after release from custody.
"He has made a life commitment to live outside the law," Mr White said.
In denying bail, Justice Crowley said he was concerned by evidence alleging Cummins maintained strong ties to an outlaw motorcycle gang and had plans to continue that lifestyle.
"This places the risk in a new category," he said
"(Cummins) does present as an unsettling risk ... of failing to appear, committing an offence on bail, endangering the community and interfering with witnesses."
Charged with murder related to serious organised crime, Cummins is scheduled to face a committal hearing in October to determine if there is sufficient evidence for him to go on trial.
