Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
Quote:
Desborough was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications, contrary to section 1 (1) of the Criminal Law Act 1977 after arriving at a south London police station on Thursday morning at 10.30am. He had arrived at the station by appointment for questioning about criminal activities at the paper.
|
Quote:
His move to the US makes his arrest, the 13th made by Operation Weeting, particularly significant. If Desborough was involved in hacking while in Britain, as police appear to believe he was, it raises the question of whether he practised those techniques in the US – and if so, whether he was the first and only News of the World journalist in the US to do so.
|
Hmmm!
Quote:
Desborough continued to win plaudits after his move to America. Ian Halperin, a Hollywood author, described him as someone who "never gets his facts wrong. He's a rock solid reporter." Hollyscope, an online site, also praised Desborough for "seem[ing] to have information that not even close family members … know."

With all due respect if this US based reporter is found to have been using the same hacking methods in the US then it may drag the US into checking out NI and the Murdochs.Then they won't have the US to hide in.

More has come out
Quote:
A police officer has been arrested in relation to leaks during the Scotland Yard phone-hacking investigation.
The 51-year-old detective constable was arrested at work on Thursday and has been released on bail until 29 September. He has also been suspended.
A 35-year-old has also been arrested by appointment as part of the hacking investigation, Operation Weeting.
The Met's Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers said the officer's arrest was "hugely disappointing".
She said: "I made it very clear when I took on this investigation the need for operational and information security. It is hugely disappointing that this may not have been adhered to.
"The MPS (Metropolitan Police Service) takes the unauthorised disclosure of information extremely seriously and has acted swiftly in making these arrests."
