News Int denies new phone-hacking cover up claims

News of the World staff accused of destroying evidence in order to cover up phone hacking activity.

By Press Gazette Published 20 January 2012

News of the World publisher News Group Newspapers has been accused of deliberately destroying evidence in an attempt to cover-up the full extent of phone-hacking at the defunct tabloid.

It was alleged at the High Court yesterday - where NGN parent company News International settled with 37 phone-hacking victims - that computers used by former NoW journalists had been destroyed in 2010, months before the Met launched its hacking investigation Operation Weeting.

The claim was made by the lawyer for the hacking victims, Jeremy Reed, who said that eight computers used by former reporters at the paper were destroyed when the company moved from Wapping to Thomas More Square in August 2010.

This is quite a good article. Many new questions emerge to the surface, all you need do is to read further information about the issues. Only then one can form a final view on a particular subject. Otherwise everything is seen only in the dimension of more cum black and white. The natural logic of evaluating things before vstavane skrine they were properly cognitively processed is a horrible mistake, made by those less intelligent. People should not throw away their common golf sense easily. Anything and everything deserves appropriate time for making judgements.
