A 40-year-old Douglas man has appeared in court via video link from the prison.
Stephen Joseph Keig, of Prince’s Avenue, is charged with fraud by false representation, conspiring to commit perjury, four counts of possessing indecent images of children, two counts of possessing an offensive weapon, and two counts of theft.
He is yet to enter pleas to the charges.
The fraud charge is said to relate to an allegation of Mr Keig being involved in fraudulently obtaining Covid lateral flow tests for delivery during the pandemic and making money from tests which were not delivered.
He is jointly charged with two other people.
The perjury allegation is said to involve forged bank statements sent to the Small Claims Division and involve another party.
Defence advocate James Peterson submitted a bail application for Mr Keig, which was opposed by prosecuting advocate Roger Kane.
Magistrates refused bail and remanded Mr Keig in custody.
He will appear in summary court again on December 1.
The perjury allegation can only be heard at the Court of General Gaol Delivery and will be committed to the higher court on January 5.
