The businessman and property developer first made headlines in 2015 after illegally shutting down a street in western Sydney for his extravagant wedding.

The 32-year-old swapped his prison greens for a powder blue suit and ignored reporters when he left Cooma Correctional Centre this morning.

Before entering the media scrum, he promised to make a statement, and appeared to be rehearsing lines with his lawyer Zali Burrows.

However, when he left the gates, he remained silent.

Smiling as he walked past the cameras waiting outside, Mr Mehajer stepped into a waiting Mercedes van which whisked him away to begin the long drive back to Sydney.

He was found guilty in April last year of being part of a 2012 electoral fraud plot that helped win him a spot on Auburn City Council.

But his legal battles are far from over as the ex-property developer faces further charges relating to a series of driving offences.

Mr Mehajer has denied claims he staged a car crash in 2017 just before he was due to appear in court after he assaulted a taxi driver.

In further charges revealed on Friday, Mr Mehajer is set to face allegations he forced people to take the blame for several speeding tickets he received in 2016.

In September, Mr Mehajer was accused of assaulting a prison guard during his time at Cooma Correctional Centre and was placed in solitary confinement.

He is due to face Cooma Local Court on July 3.
