The Never-Ending Story: News of the World’s Andy Coulson Condoned Police Payoffs
Andy Coulson, who edited Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World tabloid from 2003 to 2006, condoned payments from members of his staff at the News of the World to Scotland Yard, according to e-mails the company has handed over to the police. “It is correct to state that new information has recently been provided to the police,” a News Corp. spokesman told Vanity Fair. “We cannot comment any further due to the ongoing investigation.”
Coulson resigned as editor of the paper in 2007 in response to the phone-hacking scandal, though he never admitted that he had personal knowledge of hacking. Months after resigning his editorship, Coulson became the chief spokesman to Prime Minister David Cameron, before resigning from that post earlier this year, again in response to the furor over phone hacking.
Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. turned over the e-mails to Scotland Yard as part of a broader inquiry into phone hacking and the close relationship between the News of the World and the police. Coulson’s predecessor Rebekah Wade, who is now C.E.O. of Murdoch’s U.K. newspaper group, admitted in 2003 to paying police officers, though she has since said she can’t recall any specific instances of payments.
