The Courier-Mail has learnt that Joel Morehu-Barlow, who is in jail awaiting a court hearing, lived in the same luxury apartment building as Queensland Health Director-General Tony O'Connell.
And Morehu-Barlow wasn't a quiet man who kept to himself - he had numerous parties and was well known in and around the inner-city building.
Yesterday, a Queensland Health spokesman said Mr O'Connell had not attended any of Morehu-Barlow's parties nor had even been in his apartment but would not comment on the pair's previous close residential proximity.
Morehu-Barlow lived at the apartment for much of his tenure as a finance officer with Queensland Health, before moving out upon purchasing a $5.6 million unit at New Farm, shortly before his arrest.
While he enjoyed a meteoric rise through the department, he also enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, often photographed on Brisbane's social scene.
His wardrobe was filled with designer labels including Louis Vuitton, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce and Gabbana, Hermes and Gucci according to court documents listing some of his extravagant possessions.

The high-end goods - seized by police from Morehu-Barlow and his family - have not been forfeited but remain under the control of the Public Trustee.
If 36-year-old Morehu-Barlow is eventually convicted of the charges against him, the Crown will be able to sell the property.
On Monday, the State Government was granted restraining orders over a large amount of property but the details did not become public until yesterday.
Court documents show the State Government seized luxury cars, clothes and artwork.
The order includes a 2009 black Mercedes, a 2009 grey Mercedes,canada goose jacket discount a 2004 silver BMW and 2 Sea Doo jetskis.
It involves high-fashion women's wear including dresses by Bally, See By Chloe, Diane Von Furstenberg, and a Dior ladies cardigan.
Investigators also restrained a Bally leather jacket, a Louis Vuitton green jacket, a Louis Vuitton suit, a United Colours of Benetton cardigan, John Galliano jeans, a Dior jacket, a cap by Emporio Armani and a Dolce and Gabbana hat.
Children's wear was also seized including jackets, jeans and cargo pants all by Dolce and Gabbana.
Home entertainment equipment included a Sony LCD digital TV, a Samsung surround stereo system and a Panasonic TV, along with furnishings such as a Samsung two-door fridge, three couches and a pouf, two chests, three sets of drawers, a games table and an outdoor lounge.
Even personal photos were successfully restrained by the Government, along with two pillows, a blanket and a green cushion.
A further restraining application and a mention of the fraud case are both due to be heard in separate courts next week.
