A heavily-tattooed senior Finks bikie who is facing gun and drug charges is a father, workout fiend and motorcycle enthusiast who enjoys posting pictures of his lavish lifestyle on social media.

Troy Albert Fornaciari appeared in Wollongong Local Court on Thursday after police seized a loaded .22 calibre pistol with a silencer, ammunition, a stolen car and Finks paraphernalia from a unit in North Wollongong.

The 34-year-old, who lashed out at his lawyer and the judge during his hearing, is quite vocal about his affiliation with the Finks and can be seen wearing a Finks vest and t-shirt on his Facebook page, which is also littered with images of guns and bullets.

He has also published pictures of his motorcycles and flashy cars, as well as himself standing in front of a helicopter he appears to have chartered to a beach.

The 34-year-old can be seen sitting under an umbrella with a drink in his hand.

In another image, knives and guns have been placed around a table, which has also been set with plates and drinks.

Extensive tattoos cover most of Fornaciari’s body, including the works ‘tuff luck’ on his eyelids and ‘not guilty’ on his cheek.

On Thursday, Fornaciari was denied bail after Magistrate Shane McAnulty found he was too hostile to apply for bail, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

As his charges were read out to him via video-link, some involving alleged threats made at the scene of a motorbike crash in Dapto in August last year appeared to send him into a spin. 

In an attempt to explain why he disagreed with the charges read out, he soon launched into a tirade against police, before directing the insults to his Legal Aid lawyer, David Ryan.

Magistrate McAnulty cautioned Fornaciari against his profanity multiple times before the bikie turned on him too. 

‘What are you going to do? Are you going to come down here and personally do it yourself? If not, shut your f***ing mouth you f***ing dog,’ he said. 

The Magistrate cut his video feed after the outburst, thus taking away the 34-year-old’s chance at bail.

Fornaciari is accused of a string of offences including possessing an unauthorised pistol, intimidating police, knowingly directing the activities of criminal group, recruiting another to assist in carrying out criminal activity and supplying a prohibited drug.

He was arrested, alongside gang member Jake William Smith, after detectives raided a unit in North Wollongong on Thursday morning as part of an investigation into a fight at the scene of the August motorcycle crash.

Inside, they discovered the premises were being renovated, which the police believe was to be used as a bikie clubhouse. 

Smith, 20, has been charged with participating in a criminal group and two counts of driving whilst disqualified. 

Neither man applied for bail and it was formally refused in Wollongong Local Court on Thursday.

Fornaciari is due to reappear in the same court on March 21 while Smith will do likewise on March 13.
