Washington Post CEO Accused of Conspiring to Destroy Evidence in Phone Hacking Scandal

Court hearings reveal allegations of a fabricated security threat used to justify mass email deletion involving top media executives.

Former PM Gordon Brown and Lord Tom Watson were allegedly implicated in a fake security threat by Rupert Murdoch's executives.
The alleged plot was intended to destroy millions of emails and obstruct police investigations into phone hacking.
Washington Post CEO Will Lewis, along with other executives, is accused of orchestrating this false narrative.
News Group Newspapers has agreed to search for documents related to these allegations as part of ongoing court proceedings.
The case involves high-profile figures including Prince Harry, Sir Vince Cable, and other politicians targeted by unlawful information gathering.
