Salim's personal update after leaving prison
Salim Mehajer has shared a personal update after being released on parole after almost five years behind bars. Shared to his Instagram story overnight, Mehajer revealed a glimpse of his new-found freedom with a selfie. Sporting his new haircut and a grey tracksuit, the 39-year-old former Auburn mayor wrote only his initials in the top corner of the post.

Shortly after his release, Mehajer made stops at Service NSW to apply for a new driver's licence and a cosmetic dentist in Hornsby. It has been reported Mehajer was hoping to get his teeth fixed after his time behind bars, with teeth-whitening services offered at $549 and a full mouth implant starting at $24,990 per arch. On Monday, Mehajer – who has ditched the man bun he was sporting when he walked out of prison – announced he would be represented by Zali Burrows in his appeal. His appeal argues the domestic violence conviction and sentence were 'defective' and unfair. He was jailed in November 2020 after being found guilty of two counts of perverting the course of justice, and one count of making a false statement under oath. In 2023, he was found guilty in separate trials for domestic violence and fraud matters. He was sentenced to a maximum of seven years and nine months' jail, but was released on July 18 after his non-parole period expired. The former Auburn mayor was at court on Monday.

Mehajer was found guilty of suffocating her by putting his hand over her mouth and nose until she collapsed, and threatened to kill her mother. A jury found him guilty of six charges – including assault, suffocating and intimidation – and was also found guilty of forging signatures of his sister and Ms Burrows, who was his solicitor at the time. As part of his parole, Mehajer must report to a community corrections officer, participate in domestic violence programs as directed, receive ongoing treatment by a private psychologist and undergo alcohol and drug testing.

Motorcycle hoon gang busted after posting dangerous videos online
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here A group of alleged motorcycle hoons have been busted by covert police in Victoria after posting their antics online. The group is accused of putting lives and Victoria's road toll at risk by uploading their dangerous tricks to social media for likes and clicks. Exclusive vision obtained by 9News shows an alleged motorcycle gang turning some of Melbourne's major roads, including City Link, into illegal speedways. A group of alleged motorcycle hoons have been busted by covert police in Victoria after posting their antics online. (Nine) Police allege the group used products on their boots to throw sparks onto the road, obstructing other motorists. They also allegedly covered their number plates to avoid tolls and detection. Senior Constable Adam Mizzi said police have a zero-tolerance approach to the behaviour. "One wrong move, or one car not seeing them, could be catastrophic," he said. Police allege the group used products on their boots to throw sparks onto the road, obstructing other motorists. (Nine) Police have disbanded the group, making several arrests and laying a string of charges. A 24-year-old Caroline Springs man dodged cameras when approached by 9News, while a second man refused to answer questions by responding "no comment". "I don't feel safe being recorded," he said. At least 38 people have died in motorcycle accidents on Victoria roads this year, with a further 495 riders seriously injured. Greensborough highway patrol is cracking down on dangerous riding one speedster at a time. Mizzi said he does not want to attend the homes of families to tell them their loved one has been killed or seriously injured. "All just for a couple just for a couple of extra likes on Instagram," he said. Despite the arrests, the group continues to post videos online. But Mizzi said breaking the rules will likely catch up to them. "It could be six months down the track, but we will be knocking on your door," he said.
