BREAKING: UK Police Arrest 5 News Corp. Employees In Tabloid Bribery Scandal - Newshounds
Things keep going from bad to worse for Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. in the so-called ‘phone hacking scandal,’ that has morphed into a bribery scandal at another Murdoch paper. Today police in London arrested eight people— included five from the tabloid The Sun—on allegations of bribery of police officers and defense officials. The Sun employees are being called ‘senior journalists’ by The Guardian, which names a deputy editor, chief reporter, picture editor and chief foreign correspondent. This comes on the heels of Ellen’s news earlier this week that ‘Britain’s Metropolitan Police have acknowledged that they failed to properly investigate and warn the victims of News Corp. phone hacking when it was originally discovered in 2006.’
Sky News reported that Rupert Murdoch is flying into the UK to reassure Sun staff that he will not close the paper in the wake of the latest arrests
