Salim Mehajer: wedding bells and beyond

SALIM MEHAJER'S HEADLINE-MAKING ANTICS

* THE WEDDING: Salim Mehajer's wedding shut down streets in Sydney's west in August. He hired four helicopters that landed in a local park, while his fiancee Aysha travelled with a $50 million motorcade of 45 motorbikes and 35 luxury cars.

"In all our years in the wedding industry, we thought we had seen it all. One groom however, decided to prove us wrong," said videographers from Iconic Films.

He was later fined $220 for shutting down streets without authorisation.

* MEHAJER MINI MOVIES: A short movie trailer of how Salim found his wife, Aysha, emerged following the wedding. Another video of the pair dressed as an elderly couple was also released online. The couple had numerous makeovers to appear older for "The Road to 90 - Pre-Wedding Film".

* POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS: In his first televised interview since his lavish wedding, Salim stood at a lectern and said he would like to be prime minister. "I'd like to make my way up to the very top spot. That would (be) my dream come true," Mehajer said in an interview on the Nine Network.

* LEGAL AFFAIRS: The property developer has become a regular in courts, the most serious case being a charge of forging documents to rig the 2012 Auburn Council ballot. He has been accused of threatening the father of Lindt Cafe siege survivor Joel Herat, as well as offences related to his Ferrari with number plate 00-BO55 (as in BOSS). Salim has also faced civil cases over a lavish staircase at his home, cleaning bill and Ferrari crash that injured two women.

* WELCOMING SCRUTINY: "They can investigate all they like, I've got nothing to hide," he said after his August wedding. On January 29, 2016, he was suspended from civic office for four months for failing to disclose his financial interests. The decision may signal the end of Salim's political career with Auburn City Council set to be suspended next week and the council then potentially amalgamated.
