A second man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Syrian-born preacher Abdul Hadi Arwani, who was shot dead in northwest London.
Police say the 61-year-old man is being held on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
Mr Arwani - a critic of the Bashar al Assad regime - was found shot dead in his Volkswagen Passat in Wembley on 7 April.
News of the second arrest came after Leslie Cooper, 36, appeared before Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court charged with Mr Arwani's murder
Police also said officers had been carrying out a number of searches in London, including areas within the An Noor Cultural and Community Centre in the west of the city.
Rob Davis, from the CPS London Homicide Unit, said: "The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Leslie Cooper, 36, with the murder of Abdul Hadi Arwani.
"Mr Arwani was shot dead in the Greenhill area of London on 7 April 2015.
"This decision was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors.
"Mr Cooper will appear before Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court on 14 April 2015.
"Mr Cooper now stands charged with a criminal offence and has the right to a fair trial.
"It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."
Mr Arwani, a father of six, was an imam at the An Noor mosque in Acton, west London, between 2005 and 2011.
He is thought to have fled Syria as a teenager in 1982 after surviving the Hama massacre.
Mr Arwani is believed to have attended protests against Assad outside the Syrian embassy in 2012.
