Salim Mehajer fires a warning to his enemies as he prepares for revenge: 'Nobody has been spared'
Disgraced property developer Salim Mehajer has shared fresh details about his explosive tell-all autobiography by firing a warning shot at former associates.
It's been almost six months to the day since bankrupt one-time Auburn deputy mayor walked out of western Sydney's John Morony Correctional Centre last July, following a five-year stint behind bars.
He had been in prison since November 2020, when he was jailed for lying to a court, and served back-to-back sentences for a string of other offences, including domestic violence against an ex-partner.
Since his highly publicised release, when he was followed by a large media pack across Sydney, 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.
He hinted that it will be an explosive read, warning former associates that 'not many have made it out unscathed.'
Mehajer shared new details this week and vowed to share several extracts prior to the book's highly-anticipated release.
'Hi, yes, I'll still be releasing a couple of chapters from my autobiography as a sneak peek,' he wrote.

Mejajer revealed that he's been busy writing his autobiography
'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.
His incarceration included stints in Sydney's infamous Silverwater maximum-security prison and a week in Goulburn Supermax while in transit from Cooma.
Mehajer refused protective custody to avoid associating with 'rapists, paedophiles and informants'.
'I lost my freedom but I was not going to lose my dignity. Being forced into that environment is something I find intolerable,' he recently told news.com.au.
He passed the time by studying law and going into 'fight mode'.
Salim Mehajer has vowed to turn around his tarnished reputation
The one-time Auburn deputy mayor first created headlines in 2015 with his wedding to Aysha Learmonth
'I made time pass by in ways that kept me holding on. I wrote frequently, often 100 pages a week. I jotted down my thoughts, reflections, and even plans for the future, just to remind myself that my mind was still mine,' he said.
As he tries to turn his tarnished reputation around, Mehajer has launched an appeal against his domestic violence convictions and sentence, which he claimed 'simply didn't happen.'
He will ask the Court of Criminal Appeal for a retrial when the matter returns to court and hasn't ruled out a civil suit or taking his fight to the High Court of Australia.
Prior to his release last July, NSW State Parole Authority ruled that Mehajer had completed all possible programs in prison and that his rehabilitation was better served in the community under the supervision of a psychologist and community corrections officers.
As part of his strict parole conditions, Mehajer must undergo drug and alcohol testing, participate in domestic violence programs if directed, and not communicate with any outlaw motorcycle gang bikies or associates.
He is also banned from contacting his domestic violence victim and travelling to the NSW Central Coast.
Mehajer reappeared on social media within hours of his release from jail.
The disgraced property developer has shared the occasional update to his private Instagram followers
'I am forever grateful,' he shared on Instagram.
'I am fully committed to fulfilling the expectations placed before me.
'Additionally, I express my sincere appreciation for the unwavering support of my family and friends, as well as the dedication of my legal representative, who has consistently stood by me throughout this journey.'
While in jail, Mehajer launched a desperate attempt to have his bankruptcy discharged amid a slew of legal fights but the Inspector-General in Bankruptcy rejected his appeal and he remains bankrupt until May 2026.
Under the terms of his bankruptcy he is not allowed to own a car worth more than $9,600 after taking into consideration any loan owed against it, with strict restrictions on him being able to borrow money.
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.'
