Sure, but get everything in writing. Also, you cannot charge more than is legally allowed. Check with your local laws for loan interest amounts. Generally not more than 25-35% in interest.

my brother wanted to borrow money and offered interest too. I agreed and now my brother is saying I'm going to be arrested for loansharking? Please tell me will the police do anything about this.?

I don't have anything in writing but I have a witness, does this help my case?*

*If you take him to court and he agrees that he owes you, the judge will grant you a fair rate and the principal back. You can't collect usury rates of interest above what is legally charged, but you can get your principal amount back plus interest. Having a witness will help a little, but always get it in writing.
