A former Sydney accountant charged with running an overseas money laundering scheme will front court again in October.
Robert Agius, an Australian now living in Vanuatu, is charged with conspiring to defraud the Commonwealth and the Australian Tax Office of more than $100 million and dealing in the proceeds of crime.
Federal police allege he laundered money for about 400 Australian clients by transferring it to Vanuatu and New Zealand so they could avoid paying tax.
The 58-year-old was arrested in May when he flew to Perth to visit a colleague. He was then extradited from Perth to Sydney.
Robert Agius fronted Downing Centre Court today where magistrate Pat O'Shane continued his bail.
He was granted bail in May on the condition he provided a $4.4 million security, handed in his passport and reported to police twice a day.
The matter will return to court in October.
