John Houssam Ibrahim (born 25 August 1970 in Sydney, Australia), a Lebanese Australian, is a Kings Cross nightclub owner. Police allege Ibrahim is a "major organised-crime figure" and was labelled as the "lifeblood of the drugs industry of Kings Cross" during the 1995 Wood royal commission however, Ibrahim strongly denies being involved in the drug trade and organised crime.
Ibrahim is the second of four sons and two daughters born to Wahiba Ibrahim and her husband. Often referred to as the "Ibrahim brothers", the eldest son is Hassan "Sam" (b. ca 1966), followed by John, Fadi (b. ca 1974), and the youngest son is Michael (b. ca 1979).
At age 16, Ibrahim witnessed Bayeh's brother being attacked by two men. Ibrahim became involved and ended up receiving a large knife wound to his torso. He was placed into a coma for three weeks because of the extensive damage to his lungs, liver and intestines. A large scar is the result of the stabbing.
Aged 18 years, Ibrahim opened his first nightclub in Kings Cross, taking a 20% stake in a club then known as Tunnel Cabaret. Ibrahim sold the club in 2001 and its name changed to EP1; with police unsuccessfully taking legal action to have the venue closed, alleging it was part of organised drug activities in Kings Cross. In 2004, new owners relaunched the Earl Place club as Dragonfly and it still continues to operate, now known as The Tunnel, again under Ibrahim's ownership. Ibrahim is allegedly associated with a minimum of 17 nightclubs in Sydney's Kings Cross.
