Four held over police 'bribes' [View all]

One Scotland Yard detective and three former officers have been arrested in connection with claims that serving anti-corruption police were bribed.

The suspects are being held in custody while enquiries continue. A London business office was also searched.

The Metropolitan Police said the arrests were made as part of a planned operation set up in October 2011.

It comes after MPs were told about claims that payments had been made to anti-bribery officers.
