The Metropolitan Police have requested transcripts from Prince Harry's recent phone-hacking case against Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers, which settled shortly before trial. This settlement recognized unlawful activities committed by private investigators for the Sun, the first acknowledgement of such conduct outside the now-defunct News of the World. Calls for a fresh investigation into allegations of perjury and cover-ups have emerged, with claims of near-incontrovertible evidence against NGN executives being compiled for submission to the police by Tom Watson's legal team.
The Met police have requested transcripts of the pre-trial hearings in Prince Harry's phone-hacking case against Rupert Murdoch's newspaper empire, underscoring the potential for a new criminal investigation into allegations against News Group Newspapers.
Following a settlement before the trial, claims of unlawful activities by private investigators at the Sun have prompted calls for re-evaluating past police investigations regarding press intrusion and cover-ups.
The revelation of unlawful activities acknowledged by NGN marks a pivotal moment, as it opens the door for potential legal repercussions and renewed scrutiny into the practices of the Murdoch-owned press.
Lord Watson plans to present a dossier of evidence to the Met commissioner, suggesting nearly indisputable evidence of criminality by NGN executives, despite the company's strong denials.
