UK hacking scandal spreads, 100-plus new claims

London: The police investigation spawned by last year’s phone hacking scandal has spread to new UK tabloids, with detectives now seeking information from the Trinity Mirror PLC newspaper group as well as Britain’s Express Newspapers, a senior Scotland Yard official said Monday. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers’ comments indicated that the scandal, which erupted at Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World tabloid, could end up burning its UK competitors, where it has long been rumoured that journalists engaged in many of the same illegal practices.

The phone hacking scandal erupted last July after it emerged that journalists at the now-defunct News of the World routinely eavesdropped on cell phones’ voicemail boxes in order to score scoops. The probe has since grown to take in allegations of computer hacking and bribe-paying across the British media — and beyond. AP
