Hacking claims wipe €20m off Trinity Mirror

Around €20m has been wiped off the value of Trinity Mirror after a phone-hacking scandal spread to the owner of the Daily Mirror.

On Monday, the lawyer who handled many of those phone-hacking cases filed legal claims against Trinity Mirror on behalf of four people, including the former England soccer manager Sven-Göran Eriksson.

The reputation of British journalism was rocked by the revelation of hacking by journalists at Rupert Murdoch’s now defunct News of the World into voicemails of celebrities, politicians, and even crime victims.
