Salim Mehajer, a disgraced former deputy mayor and councillor, refuses bail while facing new domestic violence-related and theft charges. The reports say prosecutors allege he took jewellery from his fiancée and threatened to “bash” her when she asked for items back.
Several outlets also detail alleged theft connected to a wedding. One outlet says the charges include an accusation involving a $41,000 gift for a second wedding. The broader coverage frames the case in the context of his past criminal history, noting that the new charges come after he was previously jailed and later released on parole.
Across the different reports, the core allegations remain consistent—domestic violence offences and theft—while emphasis varies between bail refusal, the specific alleged items and amounts, and background about his earlier imprisonment and parole release.
