Mukund Krishna arrested by City of London police along with two former national board members

The head of the body representing most police officers has been arrested on suspicion of fraud by abuse of position, weeks after he called for greater whistleblowing about wrongdoing.

The chief executive of the Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) since 2024, Mukund Krishna, 46, had helped oust powerful local leaders in the Metropolitan and West Midlands police forces and the federation, and had a salary and bonuses of £320,000 a year.
