Allan Meehan to seek bail before NSW Supreme Court next month

Comanchero national president Allan Meehan is set to take his fight for bail all the way to the NSW Supreme Court, a month after he was extradited from Queensland and refused bail over allegations he breached a serious crime prevention order.

Comanchero bikie boss Allan Meehan has launched a fresh bid for freedom, a month after he was charged with breaching a court-imposed serious crime prevention order and locked up on remand.

Meehan’s lawyers fronted the NSW Supreme Court on Monday where they formally requested a hearing date for the 33-year-old’s bail application.

The court was told the application was expected to take less than an hour from start to finish.

The registrar ordered both the Crown and the defence to file written submissions, proposed bail conditions and subjective material ahead of the hearing, which was set down for April 5.

Meehan was not required to appear before the court and did not do so.

Allan Meehan, National President of the Comanchero, has applied for bail.

The bikie boss, who originally hails from Canberra, was previously a member of the Rebels but defected to the Comanchero in 2014.

He quickly shot up the ranks and was promoted to national president last year after senior Victorian Comanchero Mick Murray was charged with murder.

Under the terms of the serious crime prevention order, Meehan was required to live at a nominated address, understood to be his rural property in Sydney’s Southern Highlands, and had to notify police at least 24 hours in advance if he intended on staying the night somewhere else.

He was also banned from using any encrypted communication devices.

Police will allege Meehan fled interstate on the day the order was made, after he was told there was a $3 million hit on his life.

Meehan was arrested at his Gold Coast home on February 9 and charged with breaching several conditions of the order amid allegations he failed to inform police of his new address, didn’t provide an intended return date to his primary residence, and used social media on an encrypted device.

He was extradited to NSW the following day and sought bail in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court but it was refused and he was remanded in custody.

At the time, Meehan’s legal team told the court the Comanchero leader emailed police to tell them he was moving but did not list an address.

Police caught up with Meehan in Queensland earlier this year.

No details of what arguments Meehan’s legal team intends to rely upon to secure bail were revealed during Monday’s brief hearing, however typically, applicants will put forward a series of conditions they would agreed to abide by if released from custody.

They can include daily reporting to police, the imposition of a curfew, non-association with co-accused, restricted or no access to technology and mobile phones and the surrendering of passports.

Family members or close friends can also agree to put forward an amount of cash or the deeds to property as surety, which they agree to forfeit to the state if the applicant doesn’t comply with the bail conditions or fails to turn up at court.
