Lisa O’Carroll, The Guardian:
The former head lawyer at the News of the World has categorically denied any involvement in the commissioning of phone hacking.
Tom Crone, who was arrested at 6.45am at his home in south London on Thursday, was released on bail late Thursday night after being detained by Scotland Yard detectives on suspicion of unlawfully conspiring to intercept communications.
The Metropolitan police said that he was bailed until mid-October.
