I must mention that I have eaten at that restaurant. My nephew booked a big family DO there, said he knew the owner and we would get a big discount. Owner wasn't there .... No big discount. It was pretty savvy/ competent/top shelf but dreadfully noisy ...

Murdered Brisbane chef Peter Milos in business with drug suspect

May 09, 2014 12:00AM


MURDERED chef Peter Milos had a suspected drug dealer as a partner in his restaurant business the year before he took over iconic eatery Mariosarti.

The chequered background of another of Milos’s inner *circle can be revealed as police piece together his troubled final months following his eviction from an upscale inner-city unit after a drug raid in February.

Detectives have also re*visited a bizarre assault by Milos on another man in the basement of his former Fortitude Valley apartment building in December, in which he is said to have wielded a metal bar and scissors.

Detective Tony Geary told reporters police are yet to identify a suspect, but officers are interviewing associates who worked with Mr Milos, his family and friends.

'We're examining Mr Milo's life from his early childhood up until more recent times,' he said.

He said vehicles had been seized as part of the investigation and would be examined shortly.

I would have thought as the co-owner and head chef of a highly successful restaurant he'd be owed in the hundreds of thousands of dollars upon leaving.


Albanian mafia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


According to Ioannis Michaletos, the family structure is characterized by a strong inner discipline, which is achieved by means of punitive action for every deviation from internal rules. Punishment ensures fear, and fear guarantees unconditional loyalty to the family. Provisions within the family structure allow official laws to be considered secondary, unimportant, and non-binding. Since mafia families are based on blood relations, the number of clan members are limited, and bonds between them tend to be very strong. As a result, infiltrating into the mafia is almost impossible. Members of other ethnic groups can be accepted only to execute one time or secondary jobs. The Albanian mafia families are organized in 4–6 or more levels; such a structure enables them to preserve the organizational action capability even in case some of its members or groups are captured.[4]

Police have searched the yards and intend to search neighbouring yards and surrounding areas.

“We’re looking for items of interest to the investigation, which at this stage I won’t disclose,” Insp Geary said.

Is everyone else as confused as I am?

One article says he beat a man with a metal bar but the above article quotes Daniel, his brother, saying he was a big teddy bear who if you pushed him wouldn't even fight.

Not confused. If you loved your brother, and especially if you were involved with "underworld" links you would know not to incriminate your brother in MSM by saying he was a brutal .

Read above. It is all about heroin.

A close friend of Peter, who requested not to be named, said the late chef had been a “party boy” in his youth.

“It just doesn’t add up. He used to be a bit of a party boy ... but I never knew him to be a dealer,” the friend said.

“He wasn’t that sort of guy.”

He said Peter had decided to take time off work to travel overseas and fulfil his dream of writing a cookbook.

“He was a hard worker ... he had been working his arse off in restaurants since he was 14,” he said.

“He just needed a rest.”

Read above. It is all about heroin.

Hmmm .. quite the family affair, sanctioned by the mum it appears.

It makes me wonder what the items are that police are going to be searching adjoining yards for. Perhaps very small items ... very small packages, pills? If so, I hope the neighbours have been alerted to possible dangers for their children and pets.

THE Milos family made a *fortune selling heroin in the 1990s, before making a name as high-end restaurateurs feted as rising stars of their industry who rubbed shoulders with politicians and celebrities.

Despite Allen’s subsequent jailing over the state’s biggest drug sting in 2010, his brothers emerged as donors at an LNP fundraiser, meeting now-Premier Campbell Newman and ex-prime minister John Howard.

Not above accepting drug money, naturally. :shakehead:

The report of him being depressed and moody for about a week, the post about starting again are both about the same time - the same day it seems a woman claiming he was "My rock, my lover, my best friend" on FB, flew to the UK (2nd May).

Then there's the "female friend" whose home he left early in the morning and found him in the afternoon. Had he broken up with his GF and moved on or was she just a friend?

I don't know if this means anything, just thinking out loud.

He added that he noticed a change in the chef about a week ago when he became depressed and moody.

Slain chef Peter Milos spoke of 'starting again'

Starting again from .....now!

 

[SouthAussie]

I've been thinking along similar lines, sleep. Wondering how the women in his life figure in all this .. if at all.

I've also been wondering about the person Peter attacked in the basement of his old building - if there was retribution that was to be paid before he left the country.

As he was apparently beaten to death, it would seem it was done by a very angry person(s). I would imagine that a person suffering from a heroin addiction (but now apparently recovering) could pee a few people off by doing wrong things in their quest to constantly feed their addiction. Perhaps he even acted as an informer to avoid drug charges himself.

 

[AAAA]

I wonder how many drugs my many visits to that restaurant funded. Grrrr!

Murder of Brisbane chef Peter Milos exposes underbelly of drugs, dirty cash in restaurant industry

May 11, 2014 12:00AM


COOKED books, counter drug deals and phantom venues are under investigation as restaurants become the new frontier for organised crime.

The murder of prominent Brisbane chef Peter Milos has lifted the lid on the industry’s underbelly after it was revealed he lived a secret life of drugs and violence.

Gold Coast Detective Superintendent Jim Keogh said crime figures had migrated from the nightclub industry to the more discreet restaurant scene

Guess that might be because the bikies are out of business :dunno:

Could have been trading bitcoin for cash or visa versa?

https://localbitcoins.com/places/579343/south-brisbane-au/

http://silkroaddrugs.org/

Dealers use vacuum packs (Same as Sous-vide?) and use the regular mail for delivery. Payment is made with bitcoins and there is a reputation system like ebay hence the name "the ebay of drugs".

I'd be surprised if an upwardly mobile next gen mafia family weren't all over this.

I'd be equally as surprised if local law enforcement were.

All pure speculation on my part of course :moo:

Is it strange that the above says in lieu of flowers donations to Beyond Blue - They are a wonderful organisation but family usually request donations to organisations close to the COD of their loved one - don't they?

Does this mean it was suicide or just something close to their hearts?
