Salim Mehajer is a free man again after telling a court he'd been so confused by his many bail obligations that he didn't realise he wasn't allowed to contact certain witnesses.

The disgraced Sydney businessman was arrested on Monday, just two weeks after being released from prison, after he contacted a witness in one of his ongoing cases via email.

But his latest spell behind bars was brief, with magistrate Alison Viney in Burwood Local Court releasing him back into the community on Tuesday afternoon.

The 32-year-old was arrested about 2.30pm on Monday at his Lidcombe home and remanded in custody after contacting the witness.
