| Operation Elveden was launched after claims journalists made illegal payments to police officers |
A
37-year-old woman has been arrested over alleged payments to police officers,
Scotland Yard has said.
She was
arrested in Surrey by Operation Elveden detectives and has been taken to a
south London police station, where she remains in custody.
It is the
seventh arrest for the police operation into alleged police corruption, which
is running alongside the investigation into phone hacking.
That
inquiry - Operation Weeting - has seen 16 arrests.
Operation
Elveden was launched after officers were handed documents suggesting
journalists working for News International had made illegal payments to police
officers.
A
Metropolitan Police spokesman said the woman had been arrested "on
suspicion of committing offences involving making payments to police officers
for information" at 06:15 GMT.
"She
was arrested at a residential address in Surrey and has been taken to a south
London police station where she remains in custody," he added.
