A Griffith man facing multiple fraud charges appeared at a Sydney local court on Tuesday and will remain on bail as his case progresses through the legal system.

Aaron Dennis Salvestrin is facing 17 charges, including 16 counts of dishonestly intending to obtain a gain and one count of using a forged document for a public official to accept as genuine.

The matter was heard before Magistrate H. Donnelly, who set the next court date for December 9 at the Downing Centre in Sydney. The December hearing will be for charge certification, a procedural step where the prosecution formally specifies which charges will proceed against the accused.

Magistrate Donnelly has permitted Salvestrin to be absent from the December 9 proceedings.

The Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions is prosecuting the case.

The matter remains before the courts, and no further details are available at this time.
