New York (CNN) David Correia, one of the four men charged last week in an alleged campaign finance scheme involving associates of President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, was arrested Wednesday morning at New York's JFK Airport, according to a spokesman for the US attorney's office in Manhattan.

Correia was due back in the country Wednesday and FBI agents met him at the airport.

Correia, Igor Fruman, Lev Parnas and Andrey Kukushkin are due in court Thursday for their arraignment.

Correia is a longtime business associate of Parnas. He was charged as part of a scheme to funnel money from someone described as a Russian national into US elections. According to the indictment , Correia and the other men planned a multi-state strategy to make between $1 to $2 million in political donations to federal and state committees where they were trying to get a recreational marijuana business started.

Parnas, Fruman and Kukushkin were arrested last week when the charges were announced. They will be transferred to New York for Thursday's arraignment.
