The chief constable of West Yorkshire has been questioned by Northern Ireland police investigating alleged bribery and misconduct in public office.
Mark Gilmore, who originates from Belfast, was suspended on full pay in June in connection with an investigation into the awarding of vehicle contracts.
He said he had conducted himself with the honesty and integrity expected of someone in his position.
Police in Northern Ireland have confirmed he voluntarily attended a police station in Belfast last week.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said: “Detectives are preparing a file on a 49-year-old man following inquiries into bribery and misconduct in public office which were initiated by this investigation.
“He voluntarily attended a police station in Belfast last week for interview.”
Seven men have been arrested as part of the investigation by the PSNI.
Mr Gilmore, who took over in West Yorkshire from Sir Norman Bettison, was suspended by the Police and Crime Commissioner Mark Burns-Williamson.
