Police in Armagh have charged a man in connection with the murder of journalist Martin O'Hagan in Lurgan in 2001.
The 42-year-old man has been charged with fraud by false representation.
He is due to appear before Craigavon Magistrates' Court on Friday, 2 May.
As is usual procedure, the charge will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.
Mr O'Hagan was working for the Sunday World when he was shot dead by the Loyalist Volunteer Force in Co Armagh.
The PSNI said detectives from the Legacy Investigation Branch arrested a man in the Sheffield area yesterday morning, with support from counter terrorism police and South Yorkshire Police.
Police also searched a property in the Sheffield area as part of the operation.
The Loyalist Volunteer Force was a breakaway faction of the Ulster Volunteer Force based in the mid-Ulster area.
Mr O'Hagan had written extensively about the activities of the organisation and its personalities.
He was the first journalist believed to have been murdered in the line of work in the history of the Troubles.
No-one has been held accountable for his murder.
A number of men were charged with Mr O'Hagan's murder in 2008.
Among them was a Mid-Ulster loyalist who then agreed to give evidence against his co-accused.
The murder charge was withdrawn and he pleaded guilty to a series of lesser offences which saw him jailed for three years.
But before the murder trial of the other suspects could begin prosecutors in Northern Ireland said they could not rely solely on the informer's uncorroborated evidence.
Charges against the suspects were withdrawn.
Northern Ireland's Police Ombudsman has been investigating the case for some time.
It has been criticised for the time taken to produce a report.
The Office of the Police Ombudsman said today that a final draft report had now been prepared.
It will have to go through an internal review before publication.
The National Union of Journalists has been calling for the report to be published as a priority.
