Another man has been charged by police investigating alleged financial irregularities at Derby County.
Police said today that a 43-year-old man had been charged following a decision by the Crown Prosecution Service's Specialist Fraud Unit.
The man answered police bail and was charged with conspiracy to defraud and conspiracy to conceal criminal property.
The club's former finance director, Andrew Mackenzie, has also been charged with conspiracy to defraud.
He was one of five people arrested as part of inquiries into the takeover of the club in October 2003.
The 53-year-old was also charged after reporting back for bail.
The alleged financial irregularities relate to the takeover of Derby County Football Club in October 2003.
The investigation, which began last year, centred on the takeover at Pride Park Stadium by the previous board.
Jeremy Keith, John Sleightholme and Steve Harding became Derby directors in October 2003 after the club was bought from administrative receivers for just £3, backed by a £15m loan from a Panamanian-registered company, the ABC Corporation.
