Controversial Sydney businessman Salim Mehajer is expected to walk out of a NSW prison where he has been locked up for electoral fraud.
The former Auburn deputy mayor, who shot to infamy after his garish wedding, bizarre media appearances and frequent brushes with the law, is scheduled to be released from Cooma Correctional Centre on Tuesday.
Mehajer, who once went on national television to declare his desire to become prime minister, was found guilty in April 2018 of being part of a 2012 electoral fraud plot that helped put him on Auburn City Council.
He was jailed in June but the conclusion of his 11-month stint in prison on Tuesday won't mark the end of his legal woes.
He's fighting allegations he staged a 2017 crash which saw his Mercedes AMG collide with another vehicle just before he was meant to appear in court over a taxi driver assault.
The 32-year-old was also charged with fresh fraud offences on Friday.
NSW Police allege Mehajer nominated another person as the driver of his vehicles which had received infringement notices.
He was charged with four counts of making a false declaration and four counts of "dealing in identification information".
Mehajer in early 2018 was convicted for slamming a car door on the arm of Seven Network reporter Laura Banks as he tried to leave a Sydney police station in April 2017.
The judge did not hand Mehajer a penalty for his "reckless" actions against Ms Banks.
The disgraced property developer is due back before Cooma Local Court in July.
