A notorious convicted killer claims his career criminal cousin Hassan ‘Sam’ Ibrahim will ‘live like a king’ if deported from Australia to Lebanon.

Ibrahim, the brother of Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim, was handed over to federal authorities on Thursday in preparation for his deportation.

Officers from NSW Police Force’s Strike Force Raptor flew the crime figure to Perth after he was paroled from a nine-year jail term in NSW for a firearm offence.

‘My cousin got deported. Lot of people are talking s**t, but you all are sad to think he is being published…he’s a multi-millionaire, he will live like a king’s king in Lebanon and most likely travel across the globe,’ he wrote in a post on Instagram.

‘So if anyone think he is suffering lol (laugh out loud). He’s actually most likely deep down happy to be finally free.

‘May his journey be as peaceful as can be. To the haters keep hating.’

Tajjour, who has developed a cult social media following, was raised by the Ibrahim family after his father abandoned him. 

He joined the Nomads bikie gang when he was just 15 but struggled to become a full-patched member as his colours were repeatedly taken off him for fighting with members inside the club.

He has remained close with the Ibrahim family, crediting them with his success. 

‘They raised me. If it wasn’t for them me and my brother wouldn’t be who we are today,’ he told the Daily Telegraph in 2019.

‘I’m grateful to them. They brought me into this life. We’re still very tight.

‘Just because now I’ve got my own name, I’m a somebody now, I came up through the ranks of the Ibrahim family with my cousins. I don’t forget that. My cousins were the kings.’

Ibrahim had spent more than five years behind bars for conspiring to supply guns before he was granted parole in September.

He was was arrested in 2014 with his sister, her partner, and former Rose Tattoo drummer Paul DeMarco, after raids in Sydney and the Illawarra uncovered an M1 military-grade assault rifle, a standard rifle, three pistols, two shotguns and 11 handguns.

In 2015, the Department of Home Affairs cancelled his visa under character grounds due to his extensive criminal history, clearing to way for him to be deported upon his release from prison.

Lebanon-born Ibrahim, 55, has lived in Australia since he was four, and has children to an Australian wife.

Ibrahim was handed over to Australian Border Force officials around 11am on Thursday.

NSW Police State Crime Commander Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith said Ibrahim’s departure sent a clear message that organised crime will not be tolerate.

‘Today, a person who for many years has conducted criminal activity with little regard for devastation he has left in his wake, has departed NSW never to return and we hope the community can find solace in that,’ he said in a statement.

The ABF says it ‘takes seriously its responsibility to protect the Australian community from the risk of harm posed by foreign nationals who engage in criminal conduct or behaviour of concern’.

‘Foreign nationals who do not hold a valid visa will be liable for detention and removal from Australia, pending resolution of any ongoing matters with the courts,’ it told AAP.
