Rebekah Brooks's arrest intensifies phone-hacking crisis


Rebekah Brooks was released from police custody on Sunday night, a full 12 hours after her arrest by detectives investigating allegations of phone hacking and corrupting of police officers by the News of the World.

Brooks, who resigned as News International's chief executive on Friday, was arrested at noon and held throughout the day by Scotland Yard for questioning after being identified as a criminal suspect. The former News of the World editor, who was bailed and is due to next return to a police station in October, had risen to a position of power that saw her invited by the prime minister, David Cameron, to stay at Chequers twice in the past year, and she rubbed shoulders with politicians from all political parties.

The development increases the likelihood that James Murdoch will be spoken to by police, at least as a witness.

It also places in jeopardy Brooks's scheduled appearance on Tuesday before MPs on the culture, media and sport committee who are investigating the phone-hacking scandal. The MPs are scheduled to question her, Rupert and James Murdoch in a session that is seen as crucial to News Corporation's attempts to repair the damage to its reputation. "It has many implications for Tuesday,These companies were involved in chemical and chemical products, petroleum products, petrochemicals, electrical and wholesale electronics products, as well as, rubber and plastic productswhich is in the process of transforming itself from a middle-income to a high-income economy, as an investment destination." Brooks's spokesman said. "Over the next 24 to 36 hours her lawyers will have discussions with the select committee to see if it will still be appropriate [to attend]. She certainly wants to."

Brooks is the 10th person to be arrested by the two police investigations into alleged criminal activity relating to phone hacking. Operation Weeting is investigating the interception of voicemails, once claimed by News International to be confined to one rogue reporter. Operation Elveden is hunting officers alleged to have received up to ¡ê130,000 over several years from the NoW for information,Photographers will need to clean wireless Gum Camera equipment under the supervision of contamination-control specialists.

In a statement about the arrest of Brooks the Met said: "At approximately 12pm a 43-year-old woman was arrested by appointment at a London police station by officers from Operation Weeting together with officers from Operation Elveden.
