The boss of the Victorian Comanchero bikie gang wants to stand down from his role and spend more time with his family, the supreme court has heard.
Michael James Murray, 36, is in court charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice, possessing firearms and possessing testosterone after he allegedly tried to intimidate a man into taking the blame for explosives found at the house of another Comanchero.
His lawyer Philip Dunn QC argued in the Victorian supreme court for his client to be granted bail on the grounds that his trial wouldn't begin until mid-2015 and that his businesses would collapse in the meantime.
