Five More Arrested at Murdoch Newspaper in Bribery Case

HeadlineFeb 13, 2012

In business news, the phone-hacking scandal at Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation is growing. On Saturday, British authorities arrested eight people, including five employees of Murdoch’s newspaper, The Sun. The arrests came as part of an investigation into bribery of public officials by journalists. Murdoch could face legal problems here in the United States for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which criminalizes the payment of bribes to public officials by American companies overseas.
