Police have arrested three men on suspicion of fraud and money laundering after The Pensions Regulator received complaints about pension transfers last year.
The arrests in Suffolk and Essex on 8 February were the result of a joint investigation by the regulator, Suffolk Police, HM Revenue & Customs and the Financial Services Authority.
Police said the detainees were a 54-year-old man from Ipswich, a 52-year-old man from Ipswich and a 52-year-old man from the Halstead area.
The trio have been released on bail pending further enquiries and will return to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre in July.
A spokeswoman for the regulator confirmed its involvement in the investigation but could not comment while police enquiry was ongoing.
