Members of Ibrahim family to face court
Eight people, including members of Sydney's Ibrahim family, will face court accused of taking part in an international drug syndicate that was trying to import almost two tonnes of MDMA and other drugs into Australia.
Daniel Ibrahim, 26, from Dover Heights, is accused of handing over a bag containing $2.25 million on July 24 that was to be used for a large illegal tobacco importation.
Daniel, who has previously served in the Australian Army, was arrested for dealing with money intended to become an instrument of crime.
His lawyer Nick Hanna will strenuously deny that Daniel Ibrahim had any involvement and said the allegation was based on "arguments and propositions" rather than evidence.
A police statement also says that $1.15 million was exchanged at Daniel Ibrahim's house for an 800-kilogram shipment of methamphetamine sent from the Netherlands.
However, Commonwealth prosecutor Sylvia Choi said it was not alleged that Daniel Ibrahim knew about it and he was overseas at the time.
Magistrate Clare Farnan said she would grant him bail with "extremely stringent" conditions.

"Clearly there are concerns about this applicant's appearance [at future court dates], of the nature of the charges and the applicant's access to large sums of money," she said.
However, she said he had a limited criminal history and his alleged offending was at the lower end.

He was bailed to live at the home of his mother Melissa Taylor in Bondi Junction and has to report to police daily.
He offered a $550,000 surety and his mother agreed to deposit $80,000 to be forfeited if her son breaches his bail conditions.

He is also barred from contacting any of his co-accuseds, including his uncles Michael and Fadi Ibrahim.
Nightclub owner and model Sarah Budge, the girlfriend of John Ibrahim, was also granted bail after a loaded Glock pistol was allegedly found in her possession during raids across Sydney on Tuesday.

Ms Budge, 29, from Double Bay, was one of 17 people arrested in raids in Sydney, Dubai and the Netherlands targeting two drug syndicates allegedly helmed by warring Sydney underworld factions.
Ms Budge is not believed to have any involvement in the syndicates but was charged with possession of a prohibited weapon after police allegedly found the Glock during one of 30 property raids.

She appeared in Central Local Court via audio-visual link from the cells at Surry Hills police station on Wednesday.
Wearing jeans, sneakers and a grey cardigan, she spoke only to say "yes" when asked if she could hear the proceedings and "correct" when asked her name.
Ms Choi said bail was not opposed as Ms Budge had no criminal history and any risk of not appearing in court could be mitigated with strict conditions.
Ms Budge's lawyer Ian Lloyd, QC, offered $50,000 surety and agreed that his client would report to police every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Her passport has been confiscated and she is banned from leaving NSW or going near any international departure points.
Ms Budge was first linked romantically to John Ibrahim in 2015, when images of the pair emerged while on holiday on the party island of Ibiza, showing Ms Budge being helped into a vehicle by Mr Ibrahim.
At the time of the Ibiza trip, also attended by John Ibrahim's close friend and radio host Kyle Sandilands, it was reported the two had been together for about a year.
Ms Budge is the owner of Kings Cross restaurant and music venue Crane Bar on Bayswater Road.
A total of 30 search warrants were executed by officers on Tuesday in Arncliffe, Bankstown, Double Bay, Dover Heights, Enmore, Greystanes, Greenacre, Merrylands, Old Guildford, Parramatta, Punchbowl, South Hurstville, South Wentworthville, Sydney, Woolloomooloo, Rose Bay, Potts Point and Vaucluse.
Tuesday's raids were the result of an almost two-year investigation known as Operation Veyda, to crack down on drugs, money laundering and tobacco smuggling.
