Sydney property developer and former deputy mayor of Auburn City
Council, Salim Mehajer, has been added the list of those who
commence
'vexatious proceedings' in New South Wales, and his
civil claim against 17 former associated has been stopped in its
tracks.
No stranger to
the law
Mr Mehajer is certainly no stranger to the justice system.
In 2014, he pleaded guilty to failing to declare political
donations and, in 2018, was
sentenced to 21 months in prison after being found guilty of 77
counts of electoral fraud stemming from a 2012 NSW Government
election.
Mr Mehajer has also been convicted of assaulting a taxi driver
and a reporter, as well as
supplying a prohibited drug, dishonestly destroying or damaging
property for financial gain and negligent driving in relation to a
staged car accident that occurred when he was due to face court
over his assault charges.
