Newspaper bosses knew about phone hacking, jury told

Phone hacking took place at the News of the World and the people in charge knew about it, jurors in the trial of former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks and ex-spin doctor Andy Coulson, have been told.

Prosecutor Andrew Edis QC told the Old Bailey that the prosecution would show that hacking went on at the now-defunct tabloid, and jurors would have to decide exactly who knew about it.
