Disgraced Sydney businessman Salim Mehajer is seeking legal access to a mobile phone because "his safety is paramount" and prison officers had intelligence there was a $250,000 bounty on his head, his lawyer says.
Mehajer's solicitor, Zali Burrows, said "one of the most concerning things" justifying the phone use was a previous break-and-enter at his Lidcombe home and a news report that Silverwater corrections officers "had intelligence there was a $250,000 bounty - that was a hit - on him".She tendered a June 2018 article published by the Daily Mail and told Judge James Bennett the bounty was not something the "journalists ... would just make up".
Salim Mehajer's sister, Mary Mehajer, leaves Parramatta Court after giving evidence at her brothers court appearance.Under questioning on Wednesday, she said contacting her brother via a landline phone or email would be inadequate. Mehajer - who still considers himself a property developer - was released from Cooma Correctional Centre on Tuesday morning after serving 11 months behind bars for electoral fraud.Ms Burrows said Mehajer also wanted his bail varied so he could leave the state as he had fresh legal proceedings in the NSW town of Cooma, south of the ACT.
Needs to get back on Snapchat
If the Daily Mail posted it - then it was made up.
Australia’s obsession with Salim, especially the women.
After his time on the inside, he acquired a certain, shall we say, “taste” for life. Now needs phone to fire up that Grindr account.... Hi, I’m Salim and I’ll fit you in 👊🏽😳
Stop giving this oxygen thief the notoriety he craves.
