The detective constable, 32, who is attached to the Met’s intelligence bureau, has been suspended after being arrested on suspicion of money laundering, fraud by false representation, perverting the course of justice and offences under the Computer Misuse Act.
The police officer, 22, was arrested on suspicion of fraud by false representation. He has been placed on local restrictions.
Six others were taken into police custody in central London following their arrests.
