I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'make accusations' is the definition.
'charge' can be an answer for 'make' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'accusations' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for charge that I've seen before include "Formally accuse; rush" , "Keeping" , "rate" , "Entrust (with a task)" , "Formally accuse (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
