A bankrupt former deputy mayor had questions of his own when declining to participate in an interview with police over an alleged fraud.
Salim Mehajer, 37, repeatedly told police he was not participating in a recorded interview in January 2021 and maintained his innocence as he answered questions from and asked them to NSW Police Detective Senior Constable Adriano Leite.
Mehajer had legal advice to not participate in the interview, but he wanted to know if the allegedly fraudulent affidavit police were questioning him over had been lodged with the Federal Court of Australia in person or online.
