Penalty21 months; non-parole period of 11 months
Partner(s)Fatima Mehajer (sister)
Imprisoned at Silverwater Correctional Complex

Mehajer has received a number of convictions for fraud. On 15 June 2017, Mehajer was charged with over 100 electoral fraud offences, and was found guilty in April 2018. [24] [41] On 22 June 2018, he was sentenced to 21 months in prison with a non-parole period of 11 months. [25] He was released on 21 May 2019. [42]

On 23 January 2018, Mehajer was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and with perverting the course of justice with regard to a car crash that occurred on 16 October 2017. [43] He was refused bail, with the magistrate stating that the case "strikes at the very core of the justice system". [44] Mehajer was released on 4 April 2018 after $200,000 bail was posted, his conditions of bail include reporting to the police twice a day, but actually he attended court each day as his electoral fraud trial was underway. [45]

Apprehended violence orders and conviction for intimidation

Mehajer was accused of threatening personal trainer Bruce Herat in October 2015 after a disagreement at a gymnasium. Mehajer was subsequently charged with intimidation by police and had an apprehended violence order (AVO) taken out against him. The AVO prohibited Mehajer from entering Herat's workplace, Anytime Fitness Gym in Burwood. [46] [47] According to Herat, Mehajer used offensive and threatening language towards him. [48] However, the charges were later dismissed by the magistrate because the security camera had been broken in the council car park, where the alleged confrontation occurred, and he had no way of knowing for certain that Mehajer had threatened Herat, however, the AVO was extended by a further 12 months. [49] A later appeal against the extension was dismissed. [50]

In January 2021, Mehajer was charged with breaching an apprehended violence order while imprisoned at Silverwater Correctional Complex in December 2020. Mehajer allegedly breached the AVO by contacting his former partner Missy Tysoe in an attempt to have the order removed. [51] [52]

Assault convictions

On 2 April 2017, Mehajer allegedly assaulted a taxi driver outside the Star Casino in Sydney, by throwing an EFTPOS machine at the taxi driver's face. He also allegedly took the driver's mobile phone and threw it out of the car. Mehajer took a plea deal and pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and destroying or damaging property. Mehajer was ordered to pay compensation of just over $600 and enter into a three-year good behaviour bond. [53]

On the same day, Mehajer was also accused of deliberately shutting a car door on a Seven News reporter's hand, and was subsequently charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. [54] On 23 February 2018, he was found guilty due to the reckless nature of closing the door without looking, however the judge recorded a conviction without imposing any other penalty due to the "appalling and predatory behaviour" of the media pack who pursued him. [55]

Drug charges

On 28 March 2018, Mehajer was charged with two counts of possessing and one count of supplying a controlled drug, police allegedly found more than 200 anxiety and painkiller pills – 50 alprazolam (Xanax) tablets, and 174 Endone (Oxycodone) and Targin (Oxycodone and Naloxone) tablets – at the property developer's Lidcombe mansion during a raid on 8 November 2017. [56] The Australian reported that he was convicted on 19 August 2020 of one count of possessing 63 Endone pills which had been found in six locations in his house, and in his manbag. Despite requesting leniency, the magistrate stated that as "there has been somewhat of a history of offending over the last years" then she could only conclude that the "extremely powerful drugs and the sheer numbers of them alert the court to the misuse, and to a degree of criminality that must be attached to that offending." He was sentenced to a 12-month conditional release order. [57]

2023 document forgery charges

Mehajer faced more fraud charges in mid-2023, in the NSW District Court, after he was accused of forging the signatures of his legal representative at the time, Zali Burrows, and his sister. He denied doing this. Burrows stated in court that it wasn't her signature, as she was in court at the time it was allegedly signed. [58] [59]

Disqualified from managing corporations, companies placed in administration

In August 2016, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission banned Mehajer from managing any corporation for three years "as a means of protecting others from his incompetence". His failed companies owed more than one million dollars to the Australian Taxation Office. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal upheld a previous ban that was appealed by Mehajer, who also sought a suppression of the proceedings to remain out of the public eye. [60]

Civil suits, and bankruptcy

Pursued for unpaid bill for staircase

Mehajer had a marble staircase installed in his home. The company that installed it states they were not paid for their work. "The Greenacre company sued him and won, with NSW District Court Judge Judith Gibson in October ordering Mehajer to pay up to almost $1 million – the cost of the staircase and about $400,000 to cover Prime Marble's court costs." [61]

Pursued by Administrator

The liquidator, Anthony Elkerton of Dean-Willcocks Advisory, is pursuing Mehajer and his business partner for $672,297 plus interest and costs. [62] Tim Orlizki of law firm Kent Attorneys appeared in the Supreme Court seeking leave to withdraw from acting for Mr Mehajer in the liquidator's proceedings before a three-day hearing started, as he had not been paid. [63]

Bankruptcy

On 14 August 2017, he had put his million-dollar house up for lease due to ongoing legal battles. [64]

On 20 March 2018, a federal court judge declared Mehajer bankrupt, and appointed a trustee to manage his property and financial affairs. [65]

Vexatious litigant order

On 27 May 2022, a Justice of the NSW Supreme Court declared Mehajer a vexatious litigant, preventing him from commencing legal proceedings in NSW [66]

Driving offences

Car crash (2012)

Mehajer was involved in a serious car crash, on 17 January 2012, when he lost control of his Ferrari 612 Scaglietti at the crest of The Boulevarde in Lidcombe and ran over two women before colliding with a wall. The two women were rushed to Westmead Hospital where they underwent surgery for serious leg and pelvic injuries. They were released from hospital after spending a month in recovery. [67] [68] [69]

Mehajer was convicted of negligent driving on 23 October 2012 at Burwood Local Court where he had his licence disqualified and was sentenced to 150 hours of community service by magistrate Brian Maloney. Mehajer appealed and in September 2013 the conviction was overturned. [70]

The two injured women later sued him in 2014 and Mehajer reached a settlement with them in early October 2015, agreeing to pay AUD$1.72 million which was paid by his insurers, NRMA. [71]

Demerit points and stamp duty

Mehajer is under investigation for undervaluing his luxury cars to avoid higher stamp duty and demerit point shifting to other parties for driving offences. [72] Mehajer is still under investigation. [73]

Car crashes October and November (2017)

On 16 October 2017, while on his way to court to face charges, the vehicle in which he was travelling was involved in a crash and he was taken to hospital. Mehajer claimed that he was not the driver. [74]

In the early hours of 20 November 2017, Mehajer was arrested following a car crash in Kingsgrove in Sydney's south. He was charged with one count of dangerous driving. [75]

On 23 January 2018, Mehajer was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and with perverting the course of justice with regard to the 16 October crash. [43]

On 24 January 2018, a magistrate refused Mehajer bail stating that the case "strikes at the very core of the justice system". [44] Mehajer was released on 4 April 2018 after $200,000 bail was posted. His conditions include reporting to police twice a day. [45]

Custodial sentences

On 23 January 2018, Mehajer was placed in custody of Silverwater Correctional Complex on remand for 10 weeks. Mehajer was released on 4 April 2018 after $200,000 bail was posted. [76]

On 22 June 2018, Mehajer was sentenced to 21 months prison relating to 77 charges of electoral fraud. The sister of Mehajer, Fatima Mehajer was given a two-month suspended prison sentence for her role in the scam. Mehajer will be eligible for parole after 11 months. [77]

In August 2018, it was reported Mehajer is incarcerated in Cooma Correctional Centre, [78] during this sentence it has been reported that Mehajer allegedly assaulted a prison officer and had been placed on a 14-day segregation order. [79]

On 19 December 2018, during a court appearance in Sydney Federal Court Mehajer stated he would be released from prison by 21 March 2019 at the latest. This would mean Mehajer would only serve nine months of his 21-month sentence, despite reports of assaulting a prison officer and stockpiling medication during his time in Cooma Correctional Centre. [80] Mehajer was released on 21 May 2019, having served an 11-month sentence. [81]

In April 2021, Mehajer was sentenced to 2 years and 3 months for lying to a court in 2017 in order to secure relaxed bail conditions. [4] In his judgement, NSW District Court Judge Peter Zahra found that Mehajer showed “a total disregard for the courts and believes they can be manipulated for his own purposes at any time”. [82]
