Abraham Derbas, whose father is Sydney underworld figure Sandy Derbas, has been convicted after police found cocaine, ecstasy, guns and other drugs at a home.
He was sentenced to 20 months for the March 2021 raid in Bankstown, western Sydney, but served it in the community after an intensive corrections order.
His mother, 48, was murdered in the back seat of a Toyota 4WD in Panania, western Sydney, on August 13 in an underworld murder.
Four gunmen fired 15 bullets through the car’s windows, also hitting and killing Amy Hazouri, 39, who had just finished drying Ms Fadlala’s hair for an engagement party at a nearby Lebanese restaurant they were due to attend and the two.

Her son was arrested when officers from Strike Force Northrop, also known as the Dial-a-Dealer investigation, saw him going in and out of a rental property that was under surveillance.
Derbas was seen approaching the window of a car on March 10, 2021 and handing something to the driver, the Daily Telegraph reported.
The car was recovered soon after and cocaine was found in it.
Two days later, Derbas and another man were at the home when police raided the home and found cocaine, ecstasy, a pill press, marijuana, cash and a sawed-off shotgun.
Derbas faced 17 charges, including drug supply and trafficking in proceeds of crime.
He pleaded guilty at Burwood Local Court last March to two of the charges – supplying 68 grams of cocaine and dealing $6,700 in proceeds of crime.
Derbas was sentenced to 20 months in prison from March 30, but avoided going back to prison and was allowed to serve it in the community through an intensive corrections order.
Judge Richard Funston ordered him not to use drugs and not to gamble or he could be jailed for real.
Derbas mourned, along with his younger half-brother Ghazi, at their mother’s funeral at St Charbel’s Convent in Paddsbowl last Monday.

But Derbas did not attend most of the service inside the church and instead circled the venue and listened to the sermon from afar with a handful of supporters.
It is understood that he chose to remain outside during the Maronite Christian service because he is Muslim.
At the service, no mention was made of Ms Fadlallah’s alleged underworld connections or the brutal manner in which she was shot.
“Lameta lived for her children. Even when times were hard, she spared no expense for her sons,” mourners heard.
A car (pictured) was found burnt out in the nearby suburb of Panania shortly after Ms Fadlallah and Ms Hazouri were killed.
When the funeral was over, her sons Derbas and Ghazi embraced, then released gold and white balloons and posed for photos with a framed photo of their mom.
After the service, a smaller community of mourners attended Rookwood Cemetery for her burial.
Police continue to investigate the murders of Ms Fadlallah and Ms Hazouri.
Two other people in the front seat were unharmed in the attack, but suffered deep injuries.
Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting the shooting had anything to do with Derbas.
Ms Fadlallah had grown increasingly concerned in recent months that there was a target on her back
