The City of London Police Domestic Corruption Unit (DCU) have today made four further arrests in relation to an ongoing investigation involving the Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW).

The arrests are the latest development in a significant investigation into allegations of fraud and bribery, following three arrests carried out earlier this year (March 2026).

On Tuesday 18 August, DCU officers arrested four people at an address in Leatherhead, Surrey as part of an investigation into suspected fraud and bribery offences. Those arrested were two men, aged in their 40s and 50s, and two women in their 50s. Two of the individuals are serving police officers.

They were all taken to a police station where they will be questioned in due course.

Detective Superintendent Jim Halkett, of the City of London Police Domestic Corruption Unit, said: “Our investigation continues to make significant progress, with officers working through a number of lines of enquiry to establish the full facts and circumstances surrounding this case.

“We would like to thank everyone who has already come forward with information. This has been valuable and continues to play an important role in helping us move our enquiries forward.

“This remains a complex and high-profile investigation, and we recognise the public and media interest in it. With criminal proceedings now active, we ask that media take care with their reporting and avoid speculation that could impact future court proceedings.”

A public information portal remains open, and we continue to urge anyone who may have information, no matter how minor or insignificant it may seem, to come forward and contact us via
