POLICE IN LONDON investigating alleged inappropriate payments by journalists to police and public officials have arrested a former prison officer.
The 39-year-old man is suspected of misconduct in a public office and corruption.
He is the 66th person to be questioned as part of the probe, known as Operation Elveden. He was detained at his home in the borough of Waltham Forest early this morning and taken to an east London police station.
