A booking for a “table of eight” took on a whole new meaning for a flashy restaurateur who admitted he trafficked cocaine from his popular Brisbane eatery including by using Uber Eats bags and organising for buyers to pick up drugs from his head chef 

  A FLASHY Queensland restaurateur has admitted he trafficked cocaine from his well-known restaurant including by using Uber Eats bags and organising for buyers to pick up drugs from his chef.  

Daniel Bernard Milos a registered police informer, 43, formerly of Fig Tree Pocket in Brisbane’s west, has pleaded guilty to 13 charges including ten counts of cocaine supply in the Supreme Court in Brisbane.

His plea comes three years after Milos and his lawyer both claimed he would “vigorously” fight the allegations, following his arrest at the end of a 14-month undercover sting by Queensland police and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission which fights serious organised crime.

Police described it as one of the state’s largest cocaine investigations and said phone taps, surveillance and controlled buys showed Milos was trafficking cocaine in Brisbane through his Sherwood Rd restaurant.

Phone taps identified Milos as directing customers to his restaurant to collect drugs.

Milos has pleaded guilty to charges of supplying $128,000 worth of cocaine to a “law enforcement participant” in eight controlled buys in February, March and April 2017.

He admits he sold $40,000 worth of cocaine in a single deal on March 9, 2017.
