Lisa O’Carroll and Josh Halliday, The Guardian:

Four current and former senior Sun journalists and one serving police officer have been arrested as part of Scotland Yard’s investigation into police corruption.

The four Sun employees arrested are understood to be Mike Sullivan, the Sun’s crime editor, the former managing editor Graham Dudman, the executive editor, Fergus Shanahan, and Chris Pharo, a newsdesk executive.

The arrests came after information was passed to the police by News Corporation’s internal investigations unit, the Management and Standards Committee.

In his witness statement to the Leveson inquiry earlier this month, the Sun’s editor, Dominic Mohan, said: “To the best of my knowledge, the Sun has never knowingly paid or made payments in kind to police … for information.”

More sacrifices.
