Former British prime minister Gordon Brown has requested the London Metropolitan Police to open a new probe into an alleged cover-up of a phone-hacking scandal at Rupert Murdoch’s tabloid titles. Brown suspects that executives, including William Lewis and Rebekah Brooks, orchestrated the deletion of millions of emails to conceal details of the scandal.
Recent revelations from Prince Harry’s lawsuit against Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers have shed light on the events of 2011. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley confirmed that a special inquiry team is reviewing Brown’s allegations.
Allegations of email deletions to hide illegal voicemail accessing have led to ongoing legal battles. Brown’s claims have sparked further investigation, with Lewis denying any wrongdoing. The case continues to unravel, raising questions about ethics and transparency in media.
