Married At First Sight Australia’s Dan Webb has appeared in court charged with fraud over a multi-million dollar telemarketing scam.
It is alleged the reality star and ten others were involved in the alleged scam eight years ago.
It is also reported that some of the alleged participants face charges of money laundering, New Zealand new outlet Stuff claims.
The publication claim police began investigating the alleged cold-calling scheme in 2013.
The committal hearing began at Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday and is expected to last three weeks.
