Murdoch phone hacking scandal: Brooks in the pokey
Posted by Charles II on March 13, 2012
Vikram Dodd and Josh Halliday, The Guardian:
Rebekah Brooks is among six people arrested by Scotland Yard detectives on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, as part of the investigation into phone hacking.
The former News International chief executive was arrested at her home in Oxfordshire by detectives from Operation Weeting. Sources also said that her husband, racehorse trainer Charlie Brooks, was arrested.
…
Another of the men arrested is Mark Hanna, the director of group security at News International. A second of those arrested was described by News International sources as being a “non-editorial employee”; their name was not released by the company.
The Beeb chimes in:
Mrs Brooks is the only suspect among the six to have been arrested previously as part of the ongoing police operations. All the others are fresh arrests.
Asked for comment, Charles Utwater II replied: “It’s a start.”
