Comanchero leader Tarek Zahed will plead his case for bail in the NSW Supreme Court after his last application was quashed over a brazen photo of him posing with known associates just months after he survived an assassination attempt.

A magistrate at Bankstown Local Court denied the 42-year-old bail on Wednesday, following the bikie boss’s high-profile arrest for his alleged involvement in a 2014 kidnapping and murder.

Mr Zahed will face a NSW­ ­Supreme Court registrar on Monday to set a date for a hearing to argue for his release. His application for bail was turned down despite the court hearing of extensive medical issues after the unsuccessful attempt on his life in May, where he survived being struck by 10 bullets. His brother Omar died in the ambush.

But the act of bravado in posing for a photo with known associates was used by police prosecutors to demonstrate he had been in ­“direct contravention” of a ­Serious Crime Prevention Order.
