Disgraced property developer Salim Mehajer, who was convicted of punching and suffocating his ex-girlfriend until she passed out, has now launched a court bid for a domestic violence order against her.

Mehajer, who served five years in jail for fraud and domestic violence offences, alleges the woman monitored his movements, unlawfully accessed his iCloud account and remotely disabled his devices, following his release from custody in July.

The woman cannot be identified due to legal protections for domestic violence victims.

In court documents tendered to Parramatta Local Court, Mehajer, 39, is seeking a two-year apprehended violence order (AVO) against her and reports he feels harassed, intimidated and unsafe leaving his home, news.com.au reported.

The application states Mehajer has experienced repeated issues with his electronic devices since his release and claims the woman has taken control of his Apple iCloud account and email by changing the password and linking her own telephone number.

Mehajer argues the woman's alleged unauthorised access to his accounts presents an ongoing risk to his safety, including access to sensitive information from his tenure as Auburn's deputy mayor in the early 2010s.

It's understood Mehajer has not reported these new accusations to police.

Mehajer was found guilty in May 2023 for six offences against the woman, including intimidation, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and intentionally suffocating with recklessness, and threatening to kill the woman's mother.

While he's acknowledged his fraud offences, Mehajer has maintained his innocence over the domestic violence convictions, which he claimed, 'simply didn't happen'.

His appeal is currently before the Court of Criminal Appeal, with judgement reserved. 

Mehajer is still subject to an AVO order and is not allowed to contact the woman or travel to the NSW Central Coast.

To instate his own AVO against the woman, Mehajer must first convince the court to allow the case to be heard after he was declared a 'vexatious litigant' in 2022.

The ruling means Mehajer cannot launch any civil proceedings in any court in NSW until expressly allowed by the court.

The decision was brought after he tried to sue 17 defendants for $52 million over the fallout of a development project which left him bankrupt.

In the months since his release, Mehajer has mainly kept a quiet profile, apart from the occasional post on his private Instagram account, a court appearance, and running errands in a Tesla Model 3.

As part of his strict parole conditions, he must undergo drug and alcohol testing, participate in domestic violence programs if directed, and not communicate with any outlaw motorcycle gang bikies or associates. 

Mehajer recently told his 128,000 followers that he has been busy writing his memoirs and to stay tuned.

He hinted that it will be an explosive read, warning former associates that 'not many have made it out unscathed.'

'Hi, yes, I'll still be releasing a couple of chapters from my autobiography as a sneak peek,' he wrote on his Instagram in January. 'I'm still waiting on legal advice clearance… Nobody has been spared.' 

The post ended with an upside-down smiley face emoji.

Potential targets in the book include former business partners and developers, lawyers and legal professionals he believes failed him, ex-partners and political rivals from his days on the now-defunct Auburn Council.

Whether he will open up about his lengthy stint in jail remains to be seen.

Mehajer rose to prominence following his elaborate Western Sydney wedding, to Aysha Learmonth in 2015, which reportedly cost $1million.

The ceremony began with the groom arriving via helicopter and featured a motorcade of luxury vehicles and doves.

The wedding stirred controversy after the event closed a street in Lidcombe, and Mehajer sent fake flyers to neighbours warning them their cars would be towed if they got in the way.

But despite leaving the local council and police furious, Mehajer remained unapologetic about the chaos he caused, instead telling the media he wanted to be the next 'superstar.'
