Hassan "Sam" Ibrahim, the former head of the Parramatta chapter of the Nomads outlaw motorcycle gang, was released from Long Bay jail
Hassan "Sam" Ibrahim, the former head of the Parramatta chapter of the Nomads outlaw motorcycle gang, was released from Long Bay jail after being granted $200,000 bail.The 43-year-old was met at the gates by friends and family, including his younger brother, Kings Cross nightclub entrepreneur John Ibrahim.Ibrahim's lawyer Brett Galloway yesterday successfully applied for bail in Parramatta Local Court. The application was not opposed by police.As part of Ibrahim's bail conditions, he must not associate with any Nomads or attend any Nomads clubhouse. He would live with either his mother or his wife, with whom he planned to reconcile, Mr Galloway told the court.Last month, Ibrahim and two other Nomads, including national president Scott Orrock, were acquitted in the District Court over an alleged shootout at Islington, in Newcastle, in 2004.He still faces 11 weapons and property charges over a police raid of his Parramatta unit in December, 2006, when he was arrested by gangs squad detectives over the Islington shooting.According to court papers, Ibrahim was found in possession of a number of weapons including a .22 calibre five-shot revolver, and 223 rounds of ammunition, including 75 rounds of .45 calibre ammunition. He is also charged with having a ceramic bullet-resistant vest which was stolen from NSW Police.Police also allegedly uncovered a "walking stick sword", nunchuks and an illegal poker machine.Last week, Ibrahim told the court he planned to plead not guilty to the charges. He is due to face Parramatta Local Court again on December 22.Since he has been in prison, the Nomads Parramatta chapter was disbanded following a firebombing of the club's Granville clubhouse.His release follows last month's shooting murder of a long-term family friend, nightclub security manager Todd O'Connor, in Tempe.
