Blues bosses arrested by police
Football tackle
Seven others remain on bail in connection with the inquiry
Birmingham City co-owner David Sullivan and managing director Karren Brady have been arrested, the BBC understands.
City of London Police investigating alleged corruption in English football said they arrested a man, 59, and a woman 39, on Wednesday.
The pair were questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting.
A spokeswoman said the pair had been released on bail. A further seven people remain on bail.
Last month police raided Birmingham City FC in an "ongoing investigation into football corruption".
Among those previously arrested during the investigation are Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp, the club's chief executive Peter Storrie and former chairman Milan Mandaric.
Former Portsmouth midfielder Amdy Faye, a Senegalese international, has also been questioned by police.
Detectives are believed to be focusing on Mr Faye's transfers from Auxerre to Portsmouth in August 2003 and from Portsmouth to Newcastle in January 2005.
Mr Mandaric was Portsmouth chairman at the time of both transfers.
Mr Redknapp was Portsmouth manager when the player was signed in 2003.
