The police handed a file to the CPS in 2017 and on Wednesday, 10 November, they finally agreed to bring charges.
Rosemary Ainslie, Head of the CPS Special Crime Division, said: “(We have) authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Frank Partridge, 48, a former Metropolitan Police Sergeant in the Westminster police licensing unit, and seven business owners and night club operators, with conspiracy to commit bribery between 1st February 2013 and 25th June 2015.”
