The 40-year-old chef, whose younger brother and business partner Peter was bludgeoned to death at a home in Brisbane’s affluent inner east in 2014, was arrested on Friday as part of one of the largest cocaine stings in Queensland history.

He has been charged with an array of offences, including drug trafficking and money laundering, and was held in custody overnight Friday, before being bailed by a magistrate on Saturday morning.

Leaving court, he told reporters that it would be “business as usual” on Saturday at Mariosarti, his celebrated restaurant in the leafy riverside suburb of Toowong, that has played host to many a politician and celebrity in his time at the helm.

Milos’ social media accounts are littered with pictures of celebrities, athletes and politicians, among them celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and Queensland boxer Jeff Horn.

There is no allegation any of them were aware of his alleged drug-dealing.

Some of Australia’s highest profile Liberal Party politicians, including former prime minister John Howard and former Queensland premier Campbell Newman also feature on his social media history.

Last year, the restaurant was to host a $300 per head Liberal Party fundraiser with foreign minister Julie Bishop as keynote speaker, before it was abruptly moved.

Both he and his head chef, Ryan McIver, are alleged to have been using the restaurant to deal cocaine, in addition, on Milos’ part, to laundering drug money.

In 11 simultaneous raids across south east Queensland on Friday, including on Milos’ home and at Mariosarti, police seized cocaine and ice with an estimated street value of $1 million.

When police swooped on Milos, the key target of their investigation, as he drove along a southern Brisbane road on Friday morning, he was allegedly found in possession of approximately $100,000 worth of the illicit drug.

7 News reported Milos used restaurant terms such as ragu, half-feed, full feed and table of eight as code language to deal cocaine.

The main word for cocaine, the network reported, was “battle”, which is also the personalised numberplate of his luxury car.

Milos served jail time for heroin dealing back in 2000, before reinventing himself as a celebrated chef and prominent Brisbane business owner.

On Saturday morning, Magistrate Judith Daley granted both Milos and his head chef McIver bail.

The latter has been charged with trafficking and three counts of supplying drugs.

The two men will still be able to communicate for work purposes.

Outside court, Milos’ solicitor Adam Dwyer indicated his client would fight the charge.

“This has been a very stressful experience for everyone concerned, my client, his family,” he said.

“We are only at the beginning, the police have given us very little detail at this stage.”

The pair are due to reappear on May 8.

Milos’ brother Peter was violently killed at a Morningside home in May 2014.

James Thomas Howell was charged with his murder but found not guilty by a jury in February.
