Missing Milly Dowler's voicemail "hacked by News of the World"

[equationgirl]

So, will James be arrested next, perhaps?

 

[weltweit]

So why haven't news international's offices been raided - like a week ago?

I think it is a good question.

They would need quite a big team and some IT experts to secure all the possible evidence.

 

[miniGMgoit]

If they have disposed of all the evidence what would happen?
Contempt of court?

 

[Kaka Tim]

So by the end of next week we could not only have Coulson and Brooks facing charges, but also James Murdoch and half the mets top brass resigning and Rupert flogging his remaining newspapers.

Outside chance of Cameron going as well at this rate.

This is all going very well indeed.

Hopefully not before Tuesday, I don't want my afternoon's entertainment to get totally fucked.

 

[Voley]

It's all gone much further than I expected it would. Most pleasing. I'd still be surprised if it ousts Cameron. Love to be proved wrong.

Not unless there's a court order that I've missed.

Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice

Guardian: The questions the select committee must ask Rebekah Brooks, James and Rupert Murdoch

Any missing?

To Brooks...Do you think it was inappropriate accept a meal from the Metropolitan police on Sunday 17th July 2011 when they are investigating you?


e2a: My mistake, that was prison food

Barry Norman Detective superintendent (CIB3 Operation Helios)

This one spent £4 million investigating Ali Dizaei, got a payout for hurt feelings over the failure of the investigation and also when inspector (CO11?) in 1995 aparently set up FIT.

Yates Operation Russia was part of the mets inquiry in the Lawrence murder.

These apparently the people who featured in the Gillard Flynn book

Names that seem to crop up form time to time in the hacking.

I notice Bob Quick also in 'ghost squad' seems a very strong link between this squad the people who headed the anti terror police

Sorry for the long c&p

Thanks for posting that - where did you get that from (I'm assuming you don't have the book in front of you and that you didn't just type all that out manually!)?

NI are cooperating, so no need, just like 2006

[derail] Just had to admonish someone on Facebook for posting stuff on my Wall from the Veterans Today site, claiming that Murdoch is Jewish, is part of "the world conspiracy", and helped cause 9/11. Jesus wept. You''d think that with the massive amount of genuine and legitimate evidence against Murdoch Corp, the conspiraloons and anti-Semites could give it a rest for once?[/derail]

Well that has cheered me up on an otherwise dull Sunday afternoon.

ETA: Does this give her more of a reason to refuse to answer questions from MPs on Tuesday?

If she spends the duration of the Tuesday grilling refusing to answer the MP's questions, it will only serve to increase the public's anger towards her by tenfold. Hiding behind legal proceedings will get her nowhere. She's already admitted paying cops for info, which got the ball rolling, there's no way out for her now unless she leaps from the top of the Wapping HQ.

You have Jazzz as a friend on Facebook?

Ha ha ha ha! Nah, tis someone else who posteth not here - normally a nice and reasonable person but obviously had an attack on the tinfoils today. They did take down all that crap when I pointed it out and apologised profusely, so I'll leave 'em be for now.

metal milllinery isn't about what evidence you have it's about the evidence you don't have which always leads to the joos

Interesting point about a possible correlation with the anti-terror police. Wonder if it's significant and if so how it worked exactly? Unaccountability due to TWoT hysteria would be an obvious asset if you're going to go in for corruption ...

A troofer forum. I was googling around for "graeme mclagan ghost squad" to see what came up and one of them had taken the time to get it all together.

Nice

I love Prisoner Cell Block H. Hope RB does too...

 

[weltweit]

Wondering why the select committee did not also invite Andy Coulson, but I suppose they are after higher than editors as Rebekah Brooks is a chief executive (former). But I imagine many of their questions to her may apply to her time as editor NotW.

yeh tho we'll wait to see when they talk to her - now she's been nicked it may be quite some time.

That 'ghost squad' is the kind of place the Met is going to put its best people who are on the way up, just like the anti terror police were in the 2000s. The place for trustable people who could liase with the press. It also brought them into contact with the kind of corrupt copper the press are using for infromation.

So the very pally and beneficial relationship between elements of the press and the anti terror police means the NI press are prepired to run smear stories from the likes of Hayman on de Menzes and the Forest Gate brothers while the police are feeding them information about the operations to give them scoops. A trade in kind. This trade then means they are prepared to go light on any naughtyness the NI press are caught up in. The royal household is hacked so someone has to pay but they make sure the investigation does not go further than that.

The techniques of those officers in that ghost squad

Show up again in the anti terror policing of the 2000s

More details from the Guardian:

Rebekah Brooks has been arrested by police investigating allegations of phone hacking by the News of the World and allegations that police officers were bribed to leak sensitive information.

The Metropolitan police said a 43-year-old woman was arrested at noon on Sunday, by appointment at a London police station.

Brooks, 43, resigned on Friday as News International's chief executive. She is a former News of the World editor and was close to Rupert Murdoch and the prime minister, David Cameron.

A spokesman for Brooks said she did not know she was going to be arrested when she handed in her resignation.

Brooks was taken into custody at midday on Sunday, after agreeing to attend a London police station for questioning. Her spokesman, Bell Pottinger chairman David Wilson, said she did not know she was to meet with police until late on Friday, and that she did not know the appointment would result in her arrest.

The News International chief executive announced her immediate departure from the company on Friday morning. She had agreed to give evidence this coming Tuesday to the culture select committee's inquiry into allegations of phone-hacking at the News of the World.

Her lawyers are currently in discussion with the committee about whether she should attend. Wilson said: "It's left Rebekah in a very difficult position and has left the committee in a very difficult position".

An arrest by appointment on a Sunday by police is unusual.

In a statement the Met said: "The MPS [Metropolitan police service] has this afternoon, Sunday 17 July, arrested a female in connection with allegations of corruption and phone hacking.

"At approximately 12.00 a 43-year-old woman was arrested by appointment at a London police station by officers from Operation Weeting [phone hacking investigation] together with officers from Operation Elveden [bribing of police officers investigation]. She is currently in custody.

"She was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications, contrary to Section1(1) Criminal Law Act 1977 and on suspicion of corruption allegations contrary to Section 1 of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1906.

being arrested doesn't by itself prove someone's a criminal. and as the guildford four, birmingham six and tottenham three cases have shown, you don't have to have committed a crime to be fucked over. so less of the association of arrest with criminality, and of criminality with being scum.

Will she be bailed?

Except she openly admitted that they'd paid officers for information. That is against the law.
