The 52-year-old Iftikhar Hussain, a British citizen of Pakistani origin, was detained by counter-terrorism officers as he arrived on a flight from Canada and was taken to a West London police station, police added in a statement.
The phone sims of the suspect were taken in custody and the data collected brought some important information in the limelight.
Earlier this month, police searched two residential properties in London as part of the investigation and reportedly uncovered a money laundering scheme.
