Operation Elveden: former Surrey police officer charged
 CPS announces that Simon Quinn is to be charged over allegations he took payments for stories from 2000 to 2011 A former Surrey police officer has become the latest to be charged under Operation Elveden. The Crown Prosecution Service has announced that Simon Quinn is to be charged over allegations he took payments for stories over an 11-year period between 2000 and 2011. A spokeswoman for Surrey police confirmed he was a former officer on the force. The CPS has not identified any newspapers involved. Since the Elveden investigation was launched by Scotland Yard almost three years ago, 84 journalists and public officials have been arrested and 52 charged. Earlier this week three Sun journalists and one former Mirror reporter were told they would face charges under Elveden along with four public officials. A CPS statement said Quinn would appear before Westminster magistrates' court on 10 March on the charge that he "conspired together with journalists and other persons unknown to commit misconduct in a public office contrary to section 1 Criminal Law Act 1977". theguardian.com © 2014 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
