Another 35-year-old Cairns man has been charged with disobeying a suppression order tied to the same high-profile Queensland figure at the center of the extortion case.

A 35-year-old man from Bungalow, Queensland, has been charged with disobedience to a lawful order after allegedly publishing the name of a high-profile married man involved in an extortion matter.

A judicial review of Meoli’s suppression decision is scheduled for July 31.

Justice Meoli ordered continued suppression of MM’s name, arguing that public exposure during a judicial process could undermine open justice and aid alleged threats.

Police seized the man’s devices—computer and mobile phone—during a Friday raid, and he appeared in court the following morning.

The broader extortion allegations include threats against the ex-partner over her relationship with the high-profile man, with details shielded by ongoing legal orders.

The man was arrested Friday night, held at the watch house, and had social media accounts shut down as part of bail conditions to avoid breaching the suppression order.

The case underscores tensions between open justice and suppression orders in high-profile extortion-related proceedings, involving police and legal representatives on both sides.

Media outlets, including the ABC, are seeking to overturn the non-publication order in the Supreme Court to permit reporting, though the ABC has chosen not to name the local man involved in the suppression breach.

Police allege the man posted online content exposing the public figure and case details, leading to the suppression breach charge.

The suppression order concerns the identity of the high-profile man linked to Cairns Magistrates Court proceedings; the married man has not been charged and is referred to as MM.

The extortion case involves an unnamed prominent married man and his alleged affair, with public details largely withheld by a blanket non-publication order.
