A former Metropolitan Police officer from Buckinghamshire is among eight people charged with bribery offences, following an investigation into inappropriate relationships between police officers and people running local businesses.
Ex-sergeant Frank Partridge, 48, from Wing, is accused of conspiracy to commit bribery.
He was charged with the offence alongside seven others on Wednesday - including one from Flackwell Heath.
The Met said it follows a long-running investigation by the Anti-Corruption Command looking into allegations of corruption by police licensing officers in Westminster, and inappropriate relationships between police officers and people running local businesses.
The charges come after a file was first passed to the Crown Prosecution Service in December 2017.
The others charged are:
- Soraya Henderson, 55, of Glenmore Close, Flackwell Heath
- Ryan Bishti, 41, of Exhibition Road in South Kensington, London
- Pamela Bishti, 66, of Outram Road, Croydon
- Hassan Serdoud, 54, of Fellows Road, Camden
- Anna Ginandes, 44, of Fellows Road, Camden
- Terry Neil, 55, of Kimbers Drive, Slough
- Eamonn Mulholland, 54, of Florence Street, Islington
Serdoud has also been charged with bribery, the Met said.
