Salim Mehajer has insisted “only death” would end his marriage, denying claims wife Aysha has applied for an AVO against him.
The suspended Auburn councillor accused NSW Police of having a “vendetta” against him, telling news.com.au officers had filed for the apprehended violence order without Aysha’s consent.
“Aysha has NOT taken out an AVO against me,” he said. “. The police are pursuing for an AVO.
“The police seem to have nothing better to do then follow our footsteps [sic],” he said.
Mr Mehajer also insisted his relationship with his wife had never been better, insisting rumours their marriage is on the rocks are unfounded.
“As mentioned before, only death will do us apart [sic],” he said.
He has previously denied reports of a rift after police were called to Aysha’s sister’s home near Wollongong earlier this year after Mr Mehajer was allegedly “yelling and screaming at the door”.
Mr Mehajer is due on court tomorrow to answer the request for an AVO.
He became infamous when he shut down a Sydney street for his wedding Aysha last August, leading to an investigation into his role at the council and his suspension as a councillor, as well as an investigation into corruption at the council which is still ongoing.
