Thursday, March, 5 2026 - The head of the Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) has been arrested on suspicion of corruption.
Mukund Krishna, the chief executive of the federation, was
held alongside two other suspects with connections to the organization by the
City of London Police on Wednesday.
The force said its domestic corruption unit has been
investigating allegations of fraud by abuse of position in relation to the
federation over the last year.
Officers carried out search warrants in Wales, Somerset,
London, and Surrey.
Detective Superintendent James Halkett said: “The City of
London Police domestic corruption unit are leading a criminal investigation
into allegations of fraud made against three individuals connected to the
national Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW).
“A 46-year-old man from Surrey, a 51-year-old man from
Wales, and a 55-year-old man from Bristol were all arrested on suspicion of
fraud by abuse of position.
“This is a complex and active investigation in which we are
pursuing all lines of inquiry.”
The Police Federation represents more than 145,000 officers
from the rank of constable to chief inspector in England and Wales.
A spokesman said: “We are aware that three individuals
connected to the Police Federation have been arrested as part of an ongoing
police investigation.
“This is a live matter, and it would be inappropriate to
comment further at this stage.
“The organization is cooperating fully with the relevant
authorities.
“Our focus remains on continuing the work of the federation
and representing our members across England and Wales.”
