A couple from Hertfordshire has denied destroying evidence in an "ongoing police investigation", a court has heard.
Metropolitan Police detective inspector Taylor Flanagan-Clark, 33, and Claudia Flanagan-Clark, 32, both from Hemel Hempstead, have pleaded not guilty to perverting the course of justice.
They are jointly accused of remotely wiping a mobile phone which had been seized as part of a police investigation between August and September last year.
The couple appeared at Southwark Crown Court last Friday (June 19), speaking only to confirm their names and deny the charge.
The husband and wife pair have been bailed ahead of a trial at Southwark Crown Court on July 5 next year.
At a hearing last year, the court heard that Taylor Flanagan-Clark was the youngest detective inspector in the country and was described as a "distinguished officer" who worked across Westminster, Kensington, Hammersmith and Fulham, Barnet, Harrow and Hackney.
He has been suspended in the wake of these allegations.
