Arrested: Referee Dean Mohareb
Mohareb, a senior member of the Football Association’s referee department and a football league official, was due to take charge of Barnsley against Peterborough on Tuesday night.
But the 29-year-old was stood down from the match following his arrest at home on Sunday.
A statement from Greater Manchester Police said: ‘On Sunday 30 September 2012 police seized a number of electrical items as part of an investigation into computer hacking and the dissemination of private information.
‘A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of unauthorised access to computer material/data, under section 1 of the Misuse of Computers Act 1990. The man has since been bailed until 26 November 2012.’
The arrest follows an investigation into the hacking of emails belonging to the FA’s former National Referee Manager for Education and Training, Janie Frampton.
Miss Frampton was sacked after her emails were leaked to the press and it was reported she had offered FA Cup semi-final tickets in return for flight upgrades on British Airways.
She denies the allegations and is appealing the decision to sack her.
