Richard Pollett, a suspect in the allegedly fraudulent Gilher investment scheme, has been extradited from Spain to appear before Bradford magistrates.
Pollet has been charged with conspiracy to defraud in connection with the alleged Ponzi scheme, which attracted more than £10 million of investors funds and incurred losses thought to be around £6 million.
Pollett has also been charged with making misleading statements and has been granted conditional bail.
The Gilher investment scheme targeted investors based in the UK and Spain. The Serious Fraud Office launched an investigation into the scheme in November 2009, with the assistance of the West Yorkshire and Surrey police forces.
Last month Daniel Hirst, Linda Hirst and Zoe White were charged in relation to the scheme, while in April John Hirst was charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud and two counts of money laundering.
