A Jewish man who described himself as the “official spokesperson” for far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been convicted of unlawful assault against his former wife.

Avi (Avraham) Yemini, also known on social media as Ozraeli Avi, was convicted and fined at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court, Melbourne, on Tuesday morning.

He was also convicted on the charge of using a carriage service [sending electronic communications] to harass Sarah Lyford, now his ex-wife, on three occasions.

Yemini is a regular contributor to Robinson's “TR News” website and regularly produces social media content in support of the jailed former leader of the English Defence League (EDL).
