Police bailed in corruption probe
Five serving Metropolitan Police officers have been arrested on suspicion of money laundering, evasion of liability and criminal misconduct. Four members of the public - two 38-year-old women, a man aged 43 and a 58-year-old man, all from north London - were also arrested.
The five male officers were held after dawn raids at their homes on Tuesday.
The men, an inspector, a sergeant, a detective constable and two police constables, have been bailed.
