Brought in and acquitted (7)
I believe the answer is:
cleared
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'brought in' is the first definition.
('clear' can be a synonym of 'bring in')
'acquitted' is the second definition.
('clear' can be a synonym of 'acquit')
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cleared that I've seen before include "found not guilty" , "approved" , "Profited by" , "free" , "Acquitted" .)
