Still More Phone Hacking Fallout
All sorts of craziness happening in Britain’s ongoing phone hacking investigation, including arrests, raids and this: “Police are investigating evidence that a News International executive may have deleted millions of emails from an internal archive, in an apparent attempt to obstruct Scotland Yard’s inquiry into the phone-hacking scandal. The archive is believed to have reached back to January 2005 revealing daily contact between News of the World editors, reporters and outsiders, including private investigators. The messages are potentially highly valuable both for the police and for the numerous public figures who are suing News International.” Also, this is happening: “Renault has become the first advertiser to publicly extend its advertising boycott to cover all News International newspapers despite the publisher’s decision to close the News of the World.”
