FORMER property developer Salim Mehajer will face fresh charges of dealing prescription medication when he fronts court again this week.
He will be formally charged when he fronts a court on Wednesday charged with staging a car crash in October last year.
The new charges relate to dozens of tablets of the powerful anti-anxiety drug Alprazolam and heavy-duty painkillers Targin and Enzone.
They were discovered during a November 8 raid on his Lidcombe home as detectives sought evidence on the car crash they claim he staged to avoid a court appearance.
The charges come a week after Mehajer was declared bankrupt in the Federal Circuit Court, where Judge Justin Smith rejected his lawyer’s argument that the bankruptcy notice was invalid.
The notice came after Mehajer failed to pay for a $596,178 marble staircase in the western Sydney home and was successfully sued by the Greenacre company who built it.
