A senior police inspector has been charged with making fraudulent insurance claims.

Inspector Mohammed Razaq was suspended seven months ago following an internal corruption probe by Greater Manchester Police.

The corruption probe has been dropped, although the new allegations of insurance fraud have emerged.

A Crown Prosecution Service spokesman said: “After reviewing a file of evidence from Greater Manchester Police, I have decided that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to charge Mohammed Razaq with five offences of fraud by false representation, one offence of failing to disclose information and three offences of money laundering.

“These charges relate to allegations that Mohammed Razaq made fraudulent insurance claims and gave false information in two mortgage applications.”
