FRAUDSTER MEHAJER OUT OF PRISON
DISGRACED Sydney businessman Salim Mehajer has walked free from a NSW prison after 11 months behind bars for electoral fraud.
The former Auburn deputy mayor, who shot to fame after his lavish wedding, bizarre media appearances and frequent brushes with the law, was released from Cooma Correctional Centre yesterday.
Mehajer made no comment to media and left in a black car that was carrying a television crew from 60 Minutes.
“We have been in talks with Salim Mehajer to tell his story for the past year,” a Nine spokeswoman said. “We are not paying him a fee, there is no money involved.”
Mehajer was found guilty in April 2018 of being part of a 2012 electoral fraud plot that helped put him on Auburn City Council.
