A former mortgage broker has pleaded guilty to 10 charges of providing false loan applications to lenders totaling almost $3.8 million.

Between July 2011 and January 2012, Moustafa Dandachli of New South Wales supplied a total of 10 applications to two banks with loans ranging from $196,000 to $640,000.

Documents included employment history, tax returns and bank statements.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) charged Dandalchli under section 33 of the ‘National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009'. The section makes it an offence for a person engaging in credit activities to give false or misleading information.

Dandalchi appeared before Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court and admitted to providing the documents knowing that the information was false or misleading.

He faces a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment, a fine of up to $11,000 or both, for each charge, ASIC stated.

Granted conditional bail, Dandalchli was committed to the Sydney District Court for mention on 28 June 2013. He will be sentenced at a later date.
