The brother of Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja, who allegedly tried to frame a colleague as a terrorist, is back behind bars after police say he attempted to contact a witness.
Arsalan Tariq Khawaja was arrested on Thursday after allegedly contacting the brother of a woman called "witness A" to persuade her to provide false evidence, or withhold evidence.
The 39-year-old was arrested in early December after he allegedly tried to set up a co-worker at the University of NSW with a terrorist hit list earlier this year.
The list, which police say was found at the University of NSW, allegedly outlined threats to kill former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and other senior politicians.
His colleague Mohamed Kamer Nilar Nizamdeen spent four weeks in jail and was charged with terror offences, before the charges were dropped when authorities learned of the set-up.
Khawaja is expected to remain in custody until his matter is next before the courts on February 12.
