Two people, including a former police superintendent, have been charged in connection with a £720,000 investment scam.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it authorised criminal charges following allegations that a woman transferred the large sum of money, believing she would receive a substantial return.
Syed Hussain, 54, a former superintendent for West Midlands Police, has been charged with fraud and transferring criminal property.
Farah Ullah, 43, has also been charged with fraud and two counts of transferring criminal property. The pair are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 1 July.
