“Disgraced former Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer is serving a jail sentence of more than seven years for fraud and domestic violence offences against an ex-girlfriend who told a court she had frequently feared for her life.
The Herald can reveal the lengthy jail term following the lifting of a non-publication order after Mehajer pleaded guilty to separate offences of staging a car crash to avoid a 2017 court hearing and falsely nominating other people as the driver for multiple traffic infringements.
He will learn his fate for those crimes next month.
The 38-year-old shot to notoriety after his elaborate 2015 wedding, which shut down streets in Sydney’s west and featured helicopters and luxury cars.
He was found guilty by a jury in May 2023 of intimidation, intentionally suffocating a person with recklessness, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and three counts of common assault against an ex-girlfriend, who cannot be identified for legal reasons.
For the domestic violence and unrelated offences regarding the fraudulent use of documents, Judge James Bennett in May this year sentenced Mehajer to seven years and nine months imprisonment with a non-parole period of three-and-a-half years.
Mehajer’s trial heard that he punched his then girlfriend in the head 10 times in the car on the way to a restaurant, squeezed her hand holding her phone until the screen cracked and glass went into her hand, and put his hands over her mouth and nose until she blacked out.
“He threatened her that he would ‘do what gangsters do’ – kill her family members in front of her before killing her,” the prosecutor said.
“He said he would shoot her mother and make her watch.”
In a victim impact statement, which also could not be reported until the order lifted, the woman said she had suffered severe mental, physical, emotional and financial abuse by Mehajer.
“I stayed up many nights due to arguments or working on Salim’s endless demands because I feared the repercussions of not complying,” she said.
“I would often be so exhausted at work from sleepless nights that I would have to try and catch up on sleep in the car park during my lunch break.”
She said she was full of hope and ambition when she met Mehajer, but her dreams were shattered by his violent and abusive behaviour, which left her in “constant fear and anxiety”.
“When I walk on the footpath, and a car slows past me, I fear that is the moment he has found out where I live,” the woman said. “That it could be the person he has sent to hurt me as he promised to do all those years.”
She said his conduct “slowly wore away at the person I was before I met Salim”, and she was “still working hard to build my constitution of self and restore my life”. Mehajer made her feel worthless and powerless, the statement said, and she missed significant life events for friends and family.
‘I am far too traumatised to have an intimate relationship now, or any time in the foreseeable future.’
“Venturing out and doing my own thing unfortunately carried with it grave repercussions,” she said, adding that a phone call to a relative could put her “at risk of a violent rage”.
“When I came home, I was constantly on alert. I put my needs last, with Salim’s always being first and survival my priority.”
The woman said she had not been able to date anyone since leaving the relationship with Mehajer.
“I am far too traumatised to have an intimate relationship now or any time in the foreseeable future,” she said.
“It will be years, if ever, that I can trust that sharing a home with a man I love will not be a danger to my life.”
She said, despite the wounds she carries, she often wondered whether she was lucky.
“The violence escalated and became progressively more serious until I reached a point where I frequently feared for my life,” she said.
“I genuinely felt that if I did not escape, I would be killed by my partner.”
The jail sentence also includes Mehajer’s fraud convictions for making and using false documents to obtain an advantage, which a jury found him guilty of in June 2023. Mehajer, who was declared bankrupt in 2018, was accused of forging his sister and former lawyer’s signatures after police seized $6530 from his home in 2020.
Mehajer intends to appeal against the fraud and domestic violence convictions.
Mehajer’s sentence was backdated to 2022. He is presently first eligible for parole in July 2025, and his maximum term expires in October 2029.”
