Two arrested in football
corruption investigation
A 59-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman were arrested
yesterday (9 April) on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false
accounting, as part of the City of London Police’s ongoing
investigation into football corruption.
They were subsequently released on bail. Because bail
dates are subject to extension and change at short notice we will
not be releasing details. If the individuals are released from bail
or charged, this information will be released to the media
immediately.
A total of seven other people remain on bail in connection with
the investigation. If any of these individuals are released from
bail or charged, details will be made public.
PLEASE NOTE: This is the only statement the City of London
Police will be making in connection with these arrests.
