News International Executive Arrested in Hacking Probe

HeadlineAug 03, 2011

Another top executive at the Rupert Murdoch-owned News International has been arrested in connection with the phone-hacking scandal at the now-shuttered News of the World. Former News of the World managing editor, Stuart Kuttner, is the eleventh Murdoch staffer to be detained. Mark Lewis, an attorney for alleged phone-hacking victims, said Kuttner could face questioning over payments to British police.

Mark Lewis: “I’m sure the police will want to know what payments were made. Look, if there were cash payments, he would have had to have some explanation given to him as to what they related to. They might, of course, though nothing is proven against him, and there might be proper explanations for them, but I think those explanations will be requested, questions will be asked of him.”
