“It is difficult to give an end date,” said a police spokesman, who declined to be identified in line with policy. “We follow the evidence, and it’s impossible to say where it will lead. It’s safe to say it will last years.” A police budget for all the investigations into journalism extends into 2015, and anticipates that the cost will reach $64 million in total.
Well can the police can pursue it? Are they going to even have the resources to do so?Will there come a time when they have no more cash to do so?Will the changes being introduced

I'm wondering if this is a likely scenario considering no one seems to be saying much publicly in the US.

If it is proved that those in Mr. Murdoch’s employ conspired to pay public officials to further business interests, experts say he could be at risk of sanctions in the United States under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Even a small fine would threaten to take the scandal across the Atlantic, and increase political pressure on Mr. Murdoch’s lucrative American interests.
