BBC News - Max Clifford arrested in sex offences investigation
Max Clifford, one of the UK's leading public relations experts, has been arrested by detectives investigating historic sex offences.
The BBC understands that Mr Clifford was arrested by Metropolitan Police officers working on Operation Yewtree.
Scotland Yard said officers had arrested a man in his 60s on suspicion of sexual offences and had taken him to central London police station.
Max Clifford is one of the most influential figures in British media.
He is the the sixth person to be questioned as part of the operation.
The Metropolitan Police launched Operation Yewtree to investigate historic allegations of sex offences after revelations that the late Jimmy Savile had abused young people during his broadcasting career.
The operation has three strands.
One is looking specifically at the actions of Jimmy Savile and the second strand concerns allegations against "Savile and others". The separate third strand relates to alleged complaints against other people unconnected to the Jimmy Savile investigations. Scotland Yard said the man arrested on Thursday morning had been arrested as part of this last separate category of the operation.
