Former councillor Mehajer, 40, was denied bail. He was charged with allegedly threatening an ex over her jewellery.

Mehajer was the former deputy mayor of Auburn. Mehajer allegedly told an ex he would bash her if she did not hand over $41,500 in gold jewellery.
This happened at Parramatta Westfield. He claimed he wanted to give it to her as a wedding gift.
He said he could not afford to buy one. When she refused, he allegedly pushed her.
He took the jewellery and drove off. Days later, he reportedly rang her in a rage.
He called her names and threatened violence. Mehajer was on parole at the time for dishonesty and domestic violence offences.
