Top British police officials arrested for corruption

The chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales plus three other senior members were arrested for fraud yesterday. If found guilty, they will become a powerful symbol of Britain being hollowed out from within. A few months ago, Mukund Krishna, the chief executive of the federation, was arrested and later sacked over allegations of corruption. Once upon a time, the English “bobby” embodied the epitome of incorruptible, fair law enforcement. This scandal, added to the Henry Nowak arrest, added to arrests for harmless social media posts, added to looking the other way on migrant crime, added to Rotherham and other stark police injustices, reveals that British police leadership is rotten.
