The others have been identified as Deputy Superintendent of Road and Work for the Manchester Parish Council, 31-year-old Sanja Elliott; 27-year-old carpenter, Dwayne Sibblies; temporary works overseer, Kendale Roberts; and businessman David Harris.
It is alleged that McLean conspired with Elliott and Sibblies to process fraudulent cheques drawn on the account of the Manchester Parish Council between January 1, 2014, and June 24, 2016.
The four were arrested between2016 and 2017 and subsequent investigations led police to discover a grand scheme orchestrated by Elliot and other members of the Manchester Parish Council.
All five men are expected to appear in court on Wednesday.
