Mr Omerdic, 62, is alleged to have performed the ceremony on September 29 last year at the Bosnian mosque in Noble Park.

In a statement on Monday, the Islamic Council of Victoria and the Bosnian Islamic Society of Noble Park said Mr Omerdic was immediately sacked following his November 2016 arrest.
