Fadi Ibrahim consents to AVO to protect ex-business partner

Fadi Ibrahim has consented to an AVO taken out by police to protect his former business partner Benjamin Scott, a court has heard.

Sydney personality Fadi Ibrahim has agreed to an AVO taken out by police to protect his former business partner, a court has heard.

Mr Ibrahim, the brother of Sydney nightclub tsar John Ibrahim, was hit with an AVO application last year seeking to protect Benjamin Scott.

Mr Scott was Mr Ibrahim’s long-term business partner before an apparent falling out last year and police applied for an AVO to protect him and three family members.

Mr Ibrahim, wearing a black suit and tie, appeared in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday where he was represented by high-profile criminal lawyer Gregory Goold.

In court, Mr Ibrahim consented to the AVO being made without making any admissions, bringing the saga to an end.

Magistrate Susan Horan asked Mr Ibrahim if he understood that if he breached the AVO, he could potentially face a jail term of up to five years.

“Yes, your honour,” Mr Ibrahim said.

Under the order, he must not assault, threaten, stalk, harass or intimidate Benjamin and Ava Scott and Robin and Kamilla Tate.

He must not intentionally or recklessly damage their property or harm any animals that belong to them.

Mr Ibrahim must also not approach or contact them unless through a legal representative.

The orders last for two years.

Police also took out four AVOs against Mr Ibrahim’s brother Sam which were, on Wednesday, withdrawn by the prosecution.

John Ibrahim was not alleged to have had any involvement in the saga.
