Wellness influencer Bianca Cheah has pleaded not guilty to two fraud charges.
Ms Cheah, who has 1.2 million Facebook followers but hasn’t posted in nearly a year, is accused of providing false accounting figures in 2017 to gain more than $1m.
Court attendance notices seen by The Daily Telegraph say Ms Cheah allegedly made the false statement for an entity known as Sporteluxe Pty Ltd “with the intention of obtaining a financial advantage, to wit, $1,066,649.73.”
Another notice for the second offence makes the same claim for an amount of $49,986.63.
Ms Cheah has been living on the NSW far north coast since returning to Australia at the end of 2021 to confront the police allegations.
Before that, she had been living in the US for about five years.
She will contest the alleged Crimes Act offences in Sydney in November.
