The Charity Commission also froze Kids 'n' Cancer's bank accounts.
On Thursday, a Derbyshire Constabulary spokesperson told the Derbyshire Times that Mr and Mrs Hyman have both been released under investigation.
"Enquiries are ongoing," the spokesperson added.
If someone has been released under investigation by the police, it essentially means the investigation is ongoing and that the individual will be notified 'at some point' of the outcome of the investigation.
Mr Hyman co-founded Kids 'n' Cancer in 2010.
