Mustafa Qadiri was arrested last week on suspicion of scheming to defraud the Paycheck Protection Program.
The 38-year-old will stand trial in June on multiple charges including bank fraud, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering.
Prosecutors say his loan applications included altered bank records, fake tax returns and false information about employees.
He was released on $100,000 bond.
Qadiri’s attorney, Bilal A. Essayli, declined further comment Monday.
