Anne Darwin was held for three hours at Manchester Airport before being taken away for questioning by Cleveland Police on suspicion of fraud.
The move came just hours after her husband was formally charged with making a false statement to get a passport and life-insurance fraud. Mr Darwin will appear in court today.
If found guilty of the passport offense, he could be facing a maximum sentence of two years in jail, under the Criminal Justice Act. Under the terms of the Fraud Act, the second charge would carry a maximum prison sentence of ten years.
