Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article provides an overview of the news media phone hacking scandal that raised concerns about illegal acquisition of confidential information by news media organizations in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia between 1995 and 2012. The scandal had been simmering since 2002 but broke wide open in July 2011 with the disclosure that a murdered teenage girl's mobile phone had been hacked by a newspaper looking for a story. More detail for the scandal is contained in the extensive phone hacking scandal reference lists and in Wikipedia articles covering the scandal as it developed from the vantage point of specific organizations:

News of the World

News International

News Corporation

Metropolitan Police Service

"Total Number" of people values on the "Status of arrests, charges, and convictions" table is reconciled with the numbers reported in Phone hacking scandal reference lists as follows (as of 9/19/12):

Number of people arrested:

65 lines in this table naming people

-6 listed more than once in this table

---

59 people arrested by name on this table

+39 arrested but not named in the Reference Lists

-2 people not named on the Reference Lists as arrested but included in this table because they were charged (Jorsling, Sandell, added to named on Reference as arrested as of 21 Sept 2012)

---

96 people arrested according to this this table and to the Reference Lists

[Added 3 arrests 30 Sept, one new Tuleta and 2 more to reconcile total Tultea arrests with The Guardian values using BBC's "Phone hacking: Arrests by investigation."^[1]

Number of people charged:

30 lines in this table with date entries in the "Date If Charged" column

-4 listed more than once in this table

---

26 people charged according to this table and to the Reference Lists (which shows 31 on the list with 5 listed twice)

Number of people convicted:

7 lines in this table with date entries in the "Date If Convicted" column. This is the same number shown in the Reference Lists for people convicted for illegal acquisition of confidential information since 1999.]
