Police and anti-corruption investigators arrested a 57-year-old woman Tuesday in connection with an ongoing probe in which 11 people have been arrested since January this year.

According to a press release from the Anti-Corruption Commission, the woman, from George Town, was detained for questioning at the Prisoner Detention Centre at Fairbanks.
