Convicted conman Peter Foster will face court in Sydney after allegedly defrauding a man in Hong Kong of nearly $2 million as part of a multi-million-dollar gambling scam.
Mr Foster touched down in Sydney from Cairns about 5.30pm on Monday after being extradited from Queensland.
The 57-year-old was then charged at Mascot police station.
Mr Foster has been charged with five counts of publishing false misleading material to obtain an advantage, ten counts of dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and knowingly deal with the proceeds of crime with intent to conceal.
Police will alleged he defrauded a man in Hong Kong of nearly $2 million dollars through an online scam.
He was refused bail and will appear at Central Local Court on Tuesday.
Authorities swooped on Mr Foster while he was walking along a Port Douglas beach last Thursday.
Mr Foster has been in and out of jail for more than two decades on fraud offences, including a multi-million-dollar weight-loss scam.
