The chief executive of the Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW), Mukund Krishna, has been arrested on suspicion of corruption.
Krishna was detained on Wednesday by the City of London Police alongside two other individuals linked to the federation.
According to the force, its domestic corruption unit has spent the past year investigating claims of fraud by abuse of position connected to the organisation. As part of the probe, officers executed search warrants across Wales, Somerset, London, and Surrey.
Detective Superintendent James Halkett stated that the investigation centres on allegations of fraud involving three people associated with the national Police Federation. Those arrested include a 46-year-old man from Surrey, a 51-year-old man from Wales, and a 55-year-old man from Bristol. He described the case as complex and ongoing, adding that investigators are exploring all possible lines of inquiry.
The Police Federation represents more than 145,000 officers, ranging from constables to chief inspectors, across England and Wales.
In a brief statement, a spokesperson for the federation confirmed awareness of the arrests, noting that the matter remains under active investigation. The organisation said it is cooperating fully with authorities and will refrain from further comment at this stage, while continuing its work on behalf of members nationwide.
