Paul Mossman, the chief of staff of a Northern Territory minister, and the former chairwoman of the Territory's branch of Crime Stoppers Xana Kamitsis have been charged with corruption.

The charges against Mossman related to travel bookings made by Kamitsis' Darwin business Latitude Travel for the Department of the Chief Minister, police said.

Mossman was charged in relation to corruptly receiving benefits and Kamitsis was charged with corruptly giving a benefit and criminal deception.

In a statement issued this afternoon, Chief Minister Adam Giles said Mossman, the chief of staff of Local Government Minister Bess Price, was stood down on full pay "until the matter is resolved by the court".

"The charges arise from an investigation into an anomaly in a travel transaction by Latitude Travel for the Department of Chief Minister on behalf of the Office of the Minister for Local Government and Community Services," Mr Giles said in the statement.

"The anomaly was detected following the Government-initiated police investigation into the Pensioner and Carer Concession Scheme."

The pair were summoned to appear before the Darwin Magistrates Court on July 22.

Clarification: Latitude Travel in Darwin is not associated in any way with the company, directors, owners or staff of Latitude Group Travel based in Melbourne.
