Disgraced ex-deputy mayor Salim Mehajer to be hit with drug charges

Disgraced former deputy mayor Salim Mehajer appears to be in trouble again – this time for allegedly supplying painkilling prescription medication. 

The property developer, who is currently in Silverwater prison following allegations he staged a car accident to get out of facing court, was allegedly selling the ‘anxiety and pain killing drugs’. 

In a raid on his Lidcombe property in November last year police allegedly found 50 alprazolam tablets, commonly traded under the name Xanax, and 174 tablets of Enzone and Targin.
