<p>Officers from the Metropolitan Police&#8217;s Operation Falcon arrested the 50-year-old man at an address in Knightsbridge, central London, on Wednesday morning on suspicion of racially aggravated malicious communications.</p>
<p>Ms Miller, 51, has complained of receiving a series of racist messages following her decision to spearhead the legal challenge which resulted on Tuesday in a historic Supreme Court defeat for the Government over Brexit.</p>
<p>Police said that the arrest related to a complaint made to police on November 6 by a 51-year-old woman relating to threats made online, as well as to a second unrelated comment believed to have been made by the same suspect in August 2016.</p>
<p>The arrested man is currently in custody at a central London police station.</p>
<p>As part of the same investigation, officers have issued eight &#8220;cease and desist&#8221; notices to individuals in various parts of the UK, warning them police could take action against them unless they stop acting in the way they have been doing.</p>
<p>The new arrest followed the detention of a 55-year-old man in Swindon, Wiltshire, in December, also on suspicion of racially-aggravated malicious communications directed at the businesswoman.</p>
<p>Speaking following her legal victory on Tuesday, Ms Miller said she and her legal team had faced &#8220;extraordinary and unprecedented criticism&#8221; in what had been a &#8220;challenging&#8221; period for them.</p>
<p>The Guyana-born mother of three became the face of the first successful legal battle against Brexit, but said in a radio interview that it had resulted in her becoming &#8220;apparently the most hated woman in Britain.&#8221;</p>
<p>She successfully challenged Prime Minister Theresa May&#8217;s plan to use prerogative powers to trigger withdrawal negotiations under Article 50 of the EU Treaties.</p>
<p>As a result of her victory, Mrs May must now obtain the approval of both Houses of Parliament before beginning the two-year process of pulling the UK out of the European Union.</p>
