Convicted fraudster and former Auburn Council deputy mayor Salim Mehajer has been served a fresh set of charges over allegations he falsely nominated other people to take the fall for a series of speeding tickets.

Detectives launched an investigation in 2016 into reports motorists had been fraudulently nominated as drivers of vehicles that had been issued infringement notices.

"Following extensive inquiries, strike force investigators arrested a 32-year-old man at a correctional facility in Cooma today," police said in a statement on Friday.

Mehajer is currently serving a 21-month sentence after a magistrate found him guilty of 77 charges related to a joint criminal enterprise with his sister aimed at influencing the 2012 Auburn Council vote. He was jailed in June last year and must serve a minimum of 11 months.
