A 47-year-old woman is the latest person to be arrested in a long-running police investigation that has involved numerous high-profile Liverpool figures,
Yesterday the ECHO revealed that the 47-year-old woman was taken into custody following a dawn raid by officers at a property in the Livingston Drive area of Aigburth. Two Matrix vans were seen outside the property, with numerous officers going in and out.
Merseyside Police then confirmed that during the raid, the 47-year-old woman had been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office and breaches under the Data Protection Act. A force spokesperson said the arrest had been made as part of an "ongoing operation into fraud" - which the ECHO understands is Operation Aloft.
