Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp and chief executive Peter Storrie were also detained.

The matter relates to the period when Mandaric was in charge at the Premier League club, and is believed to centre around transfers involved midfielder Amdy Faye.

Mandaric completed a takeover at the Walkers Stadium earlier this year.

A spokesman said: "I can confirm that on Wednesday morning Mr Mandaric was asked to assist City of London Police with their enquiries into a matter dating back to 2003 at his former club.

"Mr Mandaric made himself readily available and full co-operated with the Police enquiry.

"While the investigation remains on-going, Mr Manadaric will continue to offer his full and total support to the Police and will refrain from making any further public statement at this time."
