An inspector has been sacked from Greater Manchester Police after being found guilty of misconduct.
Bal Singh, 39, was dismissed following an internal inquiry by the force into claims of dishonesty.
He was arrested at his Heald Green home in 2005 on suspicion of money laundering and perverting the course of justice. No charges were brought.
Mr Singh joined the force in 1989 and was based mainly at Wythenshawe where he was a community inspector.
It is understood he played a key role in providing Asian cultural advice to forces across the UK. He was suspended from duty following his arrest in November 2005 and said he was taking the force to an employment tribunal alleging racial discrimination.
'Thoroughly investigated'
Those proceedings were adjourned until the outcome of the disciplinary hearing.
A statement issued by police said: "Greater Manchester Police (GMP) expects the highest professional standards from all officers and staff and any allegation of inappropriate behaviour is thoroughly investigated.
"A 39-year-old officer has today been dismissed from GMP after a misconduct hearing.
"Six allegations of dishonesty or behaving without integrity and one allegation of bringing discredit on the police service have been proved.
"The officer had been suspended from duty and now has 14 days to ask for the chief constable (Michael Todd) to review the findings.
"Due to the possibility of a review of the findings, GMP is unable to comment further."
