LONDON — British police are investigating new tabloids in the country's growing phone hacking scandal, including the Trinity Mirror PLC newspaper group as well as the U.K.'s Express Newspapers, vancouver sport car rentals a senior Scotland Yard official said Monday.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers' comments to a judge-led vancouver sport car rentals inquiry into media ethics indicated that the scandal, which erupted last year at Rupert Murdoch's News of the World and has involved hundreds of victims, could end up burning vancouver sport car rentals the now-defunct tabloid's U.K. competitors as well.
"Our assessment is that there are reasonable grounds to suspect offences have been committed and that the majority of these stories reveal very limited material of genuine public interest," Akers told Lord Justice Brian Leveson, who is leading a government inquiry into media misbehaviour set up in the wake of the scandal.
So far more than 40 journalists and public officials have been arrested as part of the sprawling inquiry. Only a handful, including former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks, have been charged. Brooks has denied any wrongdoing
In her testimony, Akers also said her force was combing through a mountain of electronic information to find evidence for more than 100 claims of what she called "data intrusion" — a category which includes computer hacking and improper access to medical records.
The phone hacking scandal erupted last July after it emerged that journalists at the News of the World routinely vancouver sport car rentals eavesdropped on cellphones' voicemail boxes in order to score scoops. The probe has since grown to take in allegations of computer hacking and bribe-paying across Murdoch's News International — and beyond.
Several calls to Express Newspapers, owned by Richard Desmond's Northern and Shell PLC, weren't immediately returned. In an email statement, Trinity Mirror spokesman Nick Fullagar vancouver sport car rentals said that "we take any accusation against the company very seriously and we are co-operating with the police on this matter," noting vancouver sport car rentals that the newspaper vancouver sport car rentals group remained engaged with Leveson's inquiry.
vancouver sport car rentals Police have been widely criticized for their failure to come to grips with the hacking issue when it first emerged nearly seven years ago. Police repeatedly ignored crucial leads and dismissed new evidence, vancouver sport car rentals claiming vancouver sport car rentals that phone hacking was a limited practice affecting only a handful of people.
On Monday, Akers gave the force's most up-to-date accounting yet, telling vancouver sport car rentals the inquiry that more than 702 people "are likely to be victims." © Copyright (c)       E-mail this Article Print this Article Share this Article
