Ben Scott, 38, is also a business partner of Ibrahim’s and the part-owner of pawn shop chain Aceben, The Daily Telegraph reported.

The second-youngest Ibrahim brother was arrested over alleged links to a massive drug and tobacco smuggling operation.
Sandilands – who is also a close friend of Fadi’s brother John Ibrahim – worked with Mr Scott to produce Meet the Hockers, which aired on TV until July this year.
Mr Scott’s home was raided by police in the August 8 operation, one of the biggest drug busts in Australian history.
The Director of Public Prosecutions is examining Ibrahim’s release and the source of the bail money due to police concerns about the links between Ibrahim and Mr Scott.

Fadi Ibrahim’s bail was paid by three different people, and his wife Shayda Bastani- a former model – is believed to have put up almost half the amount, according toThe Daily Telegraph.
The 43-year-old was arrested in Dubai with his brother Michael Ibrahim and four other men as part of the police sting.
Fadi stands accused of two money laundering offences – providing $800,000 for the illegal importation of tobacco, and receiving $1.6 million from the proceeds.

He is under effective house arrest at his six-bedroom, five-bathroom property in Dover heights.
The home was bought for just over $4 million in 2013 and is now valued at an estimated $6 million.
Despite being just four blocks away from older brother John’s $8 million home on George Street, Fadi has been unable to visit that property since his release.
John Ibrahim has not been charged with any offences, and Ben Scott has not been accused of any wrongdoing in relation to Fadi Ibrahim’s bail.
