Salim Mehajer is a disgraced businessman. He is known for his expensive 2015 wedding as Auburn's deputy mayor.
He has been charged with domestic violence assault, stalking and theft. Mehajer was arrested Wednesday at a café in Wentworth Point in west Sydney.
The jewellery theft charge involves $41,000 worth of items. Mehajer was released on parole in July 2025.
He had served about half of his seven-year sentence for fraud, assault and prior domestic violence crimes. He was refused bail and is due in court Thursday.
His 2015 wedding featured four helicopters and luxury cars. It sparked outrage when he shut down a street without council permission.
