Properties linked to family members and business associates of Salim Mehajer have been raided by police and forensic accountants in search of financial records to manage his bankruptcy.

The disgraced former deputy mayor of Auburn council was declared bankrupt by the Federal Circuit Court in March, while he was in prison awaiting trial on charges of perverting the course of justice.

Eight properties across western Sydney were targeted on Tuesday by forensic accountants and investigators from the Australian Financial Security Authority, alongside police and representatives from Mehajer's registered bankruptcy trustee Pitcher Partners, who requested the raids.

In a statement Pitcher Partners said the properties were linked to "accountants, lawyers, family members and other associated entities" of Mehajer, who were "believed to be holding records pertaining to Mehajer’s business property and affairs".
