Rearrest posh criminal who keeps money (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treasurer

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

'keeps money' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'rearrest posh criminal' is the wordplay.
'posh' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for upper-class - opposite to non-U).
'criminal' indicates an anagram.
'rearrest'+'u'='rearrestu'
'rearrestu' is an anagram of 'TREASURER'.

'who' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for treasurer that I've seen before include "who's got hold of the cash?" , "position in society?" , "Committee member" , "Society official" , "He handles the money for an organisation" .)
