The Chief Executive of the Police Federation of England and Wales, Mukund Krishna, has been arrested on suspicion of corruption. The Telegraph has the story.

Mukund Krishna was arrested with two other national board members by officers from the City of London Police.

The arrests followed an investigation into allegations of financial wrongdoing at PFEW, which represents 130,000 rank-and-file officers across the country.

Krishna, a former management consultant, is the first Chief Executive of the PFEW and is reported to earn more than £320,000 a year.

On Wednesday, officers carried out a series of raids on premises in Wales, Somerset, London and Surrey to arrest suspects and gather evidence.

“A 46 year-old man from Surrey, a 51 year-old man from Wales and a 55 year-old man from Bristol were all arrested on suspicion of fraud by abuse of position.”
