London - Police investigating alleged corruption in English soccer arrested two more people on Wednesday as part of a probe into player transfers.
City of London Police detectives questioned a 59-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting. The two, who were not identified, were released on bail.
A further seven people, including Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp, remain on bail in connection with the inquiry after being arrested in November.
Others arrested then include former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric, who is now at Leicester; former Portsmouth player Amdy Faye and his agent, Willie McKay; and former Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie.
The probe is believed to be centered on Faye's transfers from Auxerre to Portsmouth in August 2003 and from Portsmouth to Newcastle in January 2005.
