A COCAINE king who drove luxury cars and lived the high life in Surfers Paradise threatened to “jump on the head” of a worker after he had been banned from a gym.

Chris Duspara and a friend threatened the World Gym employee over the phone on June 15, 2017 after Duspara was banned from going to any of the franchise sites.

Duspara and his business partner Onur Ada were trafficking cocaine through the Glitter Strip, making more than 350 deals to 60 people in about 12 months in 2016-2017.

Duspara was a finance manager in the automotive industry reportedly earning upwards of $200,000 a year, was planning a relaxing overseas getaway with his then-girlfriend and had the year previously snagged a three-bedroom property at Bundall for $569,000.

Duspara and Ada engaged outlaw motorcycle gang heavies to rough up their competition, the Brisbane Supreme Court was told last month, during sentencing for drug trafficking charges.

Duspara was sentenced to six years’ prison.

He was to face Southport Magistrates Court via videolink on Tuesday for using a carriage service to menace and harass, fraud and stealing as a clerk and servant, but the prison was unable to facilitate a video link.

Instead, Duspara’s lawyer Jason Grant, of Grant Lawyers, entered a guilty plea on Duspara’s behalf.

The court was told Duspara and his friend made the call to the gym, threatening the employee’s mother and children, and making threats to kill.

They then demanded the employee confirm a phone number. When the employee did that Duspara told him: “We are still going to jump on your head.”

The court was also told on Tuesday that Duspara stole stamps used in vehicle logbooks from his workplace at Von Bibra, and in January last year he purchased a vehicle for $14,000 and wound back the odometer thousands of kilometres.

He sold the vehicle the same day for $20,000.

Magistrate Louisa Pink placed Duspara on a $100 good behaviour bond for three months.

She took into account that Duspara would not be eligible for parole on the drug trafficking charges until March 2023.
