Fadi Ibrahim was released from prison after he was among four men extradited from Dubai nearly two weeks ago over their alleged roles in an international drug and tobacco-smuggling conspiracy.
The 43-year-old has been ordered to stay at his $6 million clifftop Dover Heights home in Sydney after being charged with money laundering more than $1 million.
Fadi was arrested in Dubai on August 8 with his 39-year-old brother Michael and four other men in one of Australia’s biggest organised crime stings.
Ms Ibrahim said she was ‘happy to have him back’ when Mr Ibrahim was released from prison, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Fadi is accused of two money laundering offences. One of providing $800,000 towards illegally importing tobacco and one of receiving $1.6 million from the proceeds of that operation.
Unlike Michael, he has not been charged over an alleged international plot to import narcotics worth $810 million.
Also in jail is the oldest Ibrahim brother, 51-year-old Sam, who has been on remand for more than three years awaiting sentence for his role in a gun-running racket.
