Michael Williamson, the former head of the Health Services Union (HSU) East branch, has been arrested after attending a Sydney police station this morning.
Mr Williamson, 59, said nothing as he walked into Maroubra Police Station shortly before 8am (AEST).
Police say he has been arrested in connection with investigations conducted by the Fraud and Cyber Crime Squad under Strike Force Carnarvon.
Detectives anticipate charging Mr Williamson with a number of offences related to hindering investigations, including recruiting a person to engage in criminal activity and being an officer of an organisation publishing false statements.
He was later seen being taken from the police station in a detectives car.
In May, the ongoing scandal engulfing the HSU took a dramatic twist as the Fraud Squad moved to seize computers and documents from the union's Pitt Street headquarters.
A person with a "bag of documents" was intercepted in a car park by police during the raid.
Police say they will release more information about Mr Williamson's arrest later today.
Little has been heard from Mr Williamson since July when he resigned as national president of the HSU via text message.
An internal union investigation uncovered material suggesting Mr Williamson had received millions of dollars in union funds.

THE Destroy The Joint Facebook page, used to attack broadcaster Alan Jones, was set up by left-wing union official Sally McManus, who counts Employment Minister Bill Shorten as a friend.
Established after embattled 2GB breakfast host Jones said that "women are destroying the joint", it is co-run by failed former Labor Party candidate Victoria Brookman.
With more than 16,000 "likes", the Facebook campaign has been instrumental in galvanising public support against Jones and the Macquarie Radio Network in the wake of the radio host's comments about the Prime Minister's father.
But despite the Labor links of Ms McManus, 40, secretary of the white-collar Australian Services Union's NSW branch, and aspiring MP Ms Brookman, who ran against Brendan Nelson in the federal seat of Bradfield in 2007, those behind the campaign have denied any official connection to the ALP or politics.

TREASURER Wayne Swan was still present when a joke was made about Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's female Chief of Staff Peta Credlin and made a speech after the comedian's performance.
A distasteful and offensive joke about Ms Credlin was made at a Labor union dinner last night attended by Julia Gillard and senior Cabinet Ministers.
"The comedian’s comments were clearly very inappropriate and offensive. There’s no place for those kinds of comments and I made that clear to the union this morning," Mr Swan said.
The PM this morning called the union and expressed her anger at the joke.

This potentially could cause trouble for the Victorian Liberal Government as they may lose their single-seat majority if he is forced to resigin.

Very disappointing to hear of this. However, good to see Wayne Swan and Julia Gillard both phoning to register a complaint.
Now if only Tony Abbott or some other leading Liberals had done the same re Alan Jones!
