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

In a statement about the arrest of Brooks the Met said: "At

London police station by officers from Operation Weeting together with
officers from Operation Elveden. She is currently in custody. She was
