Rose Tattoo drummer Paul DeMarco will spend at least another week behind bars after a brief court appearance to face illegal gun sales charges.
DeMarco, 55, was arrested along with former bikie boss Sam Ibrahim and Ibrahim's younger sister Jazz Dior after dawn raids by police on Tuesday.
Police allege the trio are "significant players" in an illegal gun sales syndicate, selling military-grade and high-powered weapons across western Sydney and the Illawarra region.
DeMarco, from Windsor in Sydney's northwest, was charged with 27 offences, including supplying prohibited weapons and ammunition.
He appeared via audio-visual link at Parramatta Local Court on Wednesday.
