A former Bandido's boast about sharing sexual partners with a man at the centre of the infamous 2013 Broadbeach bikie brawl led to him being charged with perjury.
Prosecutors allege Peter Mauric knowingly provided false and contradictory statements about his relationship with Jason Trouchet, the man allegedly targeted by fellow Bandido Jacques Teamo before the infamous Gold Coast brawl.
Mauric, 48, is standing trial on one count of perjury, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
During the second day of the trial at Southport District Court on Thursday, crown prosecutor Michael Connelly said evidence given during a 2015 Magistrates Court trial involving Mauric was "irreconcilably different" to evidence he'd given at a Crime and Corruption Commission hearing in 2013.
The court heard audio from the CCC hearing where Mauric was asked if he knew the man confronted by Teamo at a Broadbeach restaurant on September 27, 2013.
"No I didn't," Mauric says.
"Never seen him in my life until that night."
The court was then played audio of Mauric during the trial at the Magistrates Court on May 14, 2015 where he was asked by his own lawyer if he knew Mr Trouchet.
Mauric says he has known Mr Trouchet for over 20 years.
"We used to - let's be honest - bed the same girls together," he says.
"One week I'd have her and next week he would. That's how close we are."
Defence barrister Scott Corish used his closing address to argue the CCC question was open to interpretation and didn't specify that they were asking about Mr Trouchet.
"Surely there's a question missing in the CCC hearing. Do you know Jason Trouchet?," Mr Corish told the court.
"They couldn't even bother to do that."
Mr Corish disputed Mr Connelly's suggestion it was obvious who counsel assisting the CCC had been referring to and added Mauric wasn't given the benefit of being shown CCTV footage of the build-up to the brawl which could have cleared up any confusion.
"That's more like a seance than the inquisition," Mr Corish said.
"Somehow Mr Mauric is supposed to read their mind and know what they're asking about?"
Mr Connelly argued Mauric knew on each occasion what he was being asked about and had altered his story for "his own purposes".
The trial will continue on Friday with the jury likely to retire to consider its verdict.
