Ex-NotW editor arrested as part of hacking probe

POLICE arrested a 61-year-old man as part of their investigation into the phone-hacking scandal at the now-defunct News of the World, which was part of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp media empire.

Greg Miskiw, one of the few senior editors at the time phone-hacking occurred who had not yet been arrested, told Channel 4 news last month he was preparing to return from his Florida home to Britain to talk to police.

Miskiw ran the News of the World’s news desk for many years.
