A man has been arrested over alleged threats against Gina Miller, the woman behind the Brexit legal challenge.
According to BBC Met Police officers arrested the man, 55, in Swindon on Monday on suspicion of racially-aggravated malicious communications, police said.
He was taken to a Wiltshire police station and later released on bail.
Officers from the Met’s anti-cyber crime Falcon Unit also issued a “cease and desist” notice on 3 December to a 38-year-old man from Fife, Scotland.
The Metropolitan Police said the Swindon man was held over threats made online from 3 November onwards.
Gina Miller, an investment fund manager, and philanthropist is the lead claimant in the legal fight to get Parliament to vote on whether the UK can start the process of leaving the EU.
The case is currently being heard at the Supreme Court in London.
The government is appealing to the court, saying it does not need the approval of MPs to trigger Brexit.
