Liverpool mayor re-bailed

LIVERPOOL Mayor Joe Anderson has been re-bailed by police after being detained on suspicion of conspiracy to commit bribery and witness intimidation.

Mr Anderson said it was a “painful shock” when he was taken into custody on December 4, along with four other men.

Following his arrest, he said he was “stepping away” from his council duties “until the police make clear their intentions with the investigation on December 31.”

The arrests were part of a Merseyside Police fraud investigation, codenamed Operation Aloft, into building and development contracts in Liverpool.

A Merseyside Police spokeswoman said today: “We can confirm that the five people arrested on 4 December as part of Operation Aloft have been re-bailed until 19 February 2021.”

Mr Anderson was elected mayor of Liverpool in 2012, having served as a councillor since 1998.

He has been suspended by the Labour Party pending the police investigation.
