<snip>
The eight who will be charged are: Rebekah Brooks, Andrew Coulson, Stuart Kuttner, Glenn Mulcaire, Greg Miskiw, Ian Edmondson, Neville Thurlbeck and James Weatherup.

They will face a total of 19 charges in all. The full wording of all the charges will be made available, which will include the names of others whom the prosecution say are victims, but for now I shall summarise them as follows.

All, with the exception of Glenn Mulcaire, will be charged with conspiring to intercept communications without lawful authority, from 3rd October 2000 to 9th August 2006. The communications in question are the voicemail messages of well-known people and/or those associated with them. There is a schedule containing the names of over 600 people whom the prosecution will say are the victims of this offence.

In addition, each will face a number of further charges of conspiracy unlawfully to intercept communications, as follows:

11.45am -Rebekah Brooks, the former News International chief executive, has issued a statement on the phone-hacking charges. She said:

I am not guilty of these charges. I did not authorise, nor was I aware of, phone hacking under my editorship. I am distressed and angry that the CPS have reached this decision when they knew all the facts and were in a position to stop the case at this stage. The charge concerning Milly Dowler is particularly upsetting not only as it is untrue but also because I have spent my journalistic career campaigning for victims of crime. I will vigorously defend these allegations.

Whatever!!!

when the companies they ran are caught out... Brooks, Murdoch, Romney.

They never know anything, but they all claim to be excellent managers.

ocean who worked for FAUX who could be also charged here. These are international media corporations.

Could it be that the government was listening to Murdock's taps as well or was it Murdock listening in to the governments taps?

There is an article on Wikipedia. They aren't supposed to talk about a crime that is under investigation.

The negative attention garnered by the scandal eventually reached the United States, where News Corporation is headquartered and operates multiple media outlets. The Federal Bureau of Investigation launched a probe on 14 July 2011, to determine whether News Corporation accessed voicemails of victims of the 9/11 attacks. On 15 July, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced an additional investigation by the Department of Justice, looking into whether the company had violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Only sort of joking...they need to be sent away for a long time, as do the Murdochs.

Heh heh.

what they did was despicable and to read Brooks and Coulson's statements proclaiming how they 'worked on behalf of victims of crime' was nauseating.

oozes slime in all directions. The US version of the Republican-corporate 1% slime propaganda machine will -- honorable people everywhere may hope -- next.
