A high-flying Gold Coast club promoter and drug dealer may be forced to give up his waterfront mansion, investment property and luxury car.

Raymond Said Frangieh has been charged with running a drug operation across south-eastern Queensland supplying cocaine and esctasy between July 2015 and 2016.

His wife, Melissa, has been charged with money laundering the cash from his alleged substance ring.

In December last year, the court heard $414,710 was deposited into three of Mrs Frangieh’s bank accounts between January and July of 2015. 

The money was labelled as ‘wages deposits’ and ‘cash flow’.

The pair now face losing their $1.2 million Mermaid Waters home, a $750,000 Surfers Paradise investment property and Mrs Frangieh’s luxury Mercedes.

An order made in the Brisbane Supreme Court by Justice Susan Brown states Mrs Frangieh has until April 6 to convince the court and state government as to why she should not have her properties forfeited.
