Salim Mehajer, a former politician, is seeking release from prison after nearly five years of a seven-year and nine-month sentence for domestic violence, including suffocation and threats against a woman. He is eligible for parole on July 18, following a recommendation for conditional release, though the Commissioner of Corrective Services has raised concerns about him being an “offender of interest.” Mehajer is set to appear at a public parole hearing on June 12, as he continues to face multiple legal issues stemming from his past offenses.
