Add one significant -- and different -- title to more than 30 current and former employees of News International, the News
Corp. subsidiary that publishes Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers, who have been arrested in a phone hacking scandal.
The Guardian newspaper reported yesterday that Scotland Yard had arrested six people, including Mark Hanna, the media company's director of group security since 2009. While details are limited so far -- there has been no statement from law enforcement on what role, if any, Hanna may have played in the phone hacking -- like the others this week, he was arrested, "on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice," according to the Guardian.
Which is another way of saying that Hanna, along with Rebekah Brooks, the former News International chief executive and former editor of the Sun and the News of the World, and four others, are suspected of attempting to cover up alleged crimes such as bribing police or illegally intercepting voice mail or email.
