Mulcaire hacked phones 2,226 times for News of the World, court documents allege (BBC)

News of the World journalists asked private investigator Glenn Mulcaire to hack phones 2,226 times over five years, newly released documents allege.

Mr Justice Vos ordered that papers relating to civil phone hacking cases be released to the BBC and other media at a High Court hearing on Thursday.

Mulcaire was jailed in January 2007 for six months and the News of the World's royal correspondent Clive Goodman received a four month term for illegally accessing voicemails of members of the royal household.

The Generic Particulars of Claim documents allege that even after Mulcaire was arrested in 2006, a NoW journalist continued to hack voicemail messages.
