A bodybuilder has been handed a "substantial" out of court settlement from police following claims two offficers carried out a campaign to get him into trouble.
Akinwale Arobieke, who has previous criminal convictions and is well known in Merseyside, sued the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police for malicious prosecution and misfeasance in public office with the payout coming just weeks before the trial was set to start.
In his civil claim against GMP, Mr Arobieke alleged that from 2012 he was targeted by two particular officers, who are not being publicly named at this time, reports Liverpool Echo.
