Sun newspaper staff among eight arrested in UK police probe

LONDON (BNO NEWS) -- Five employees of The Sun newspaper were arrested by British police on Saturday as part of an ongoing investigation into inappropriate payments to police and public officials, the company said. Three officials were also arrested.

The five Sun employees were arrested at their homes in London, Kent and Essex between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. local time on Saturday. The Guardian newspaper identified those arrested as the Sun's deputy editor, Geoff Webster, the Sun's chief reporter, John Kay, the Sun's picture editor, John Edwards, the Sun's chief foreign correspondent, Nick Parker, and Sun reporter John Sturgis.

"All five were arrested on suspicion of corruption under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1906; aiding and abetting misconduct in a public office (contrary to common law) and conspiracy in relation to both these offences," Scotland Yard said in a statement. "They are currently being questioned at various police stations in London and Kent."

News Corporation, which owns The Sun and numerous other publications, said information provided by its Management and Standards Committee (MSC) led to Saturday's arrests. "The MSC have provided the option of immediate legal representation to those arrested," the company said in a statement.

Dominic Mohan, editor of The Sun, expressed shock over the arrests but said he is determined to lead the newspaper through what he described as 'difficult times.' "I have a brilliant staff and we have a duty to serve our readers and will continue to do that," he said. "Our focus is on putting out Monday's newspaper."

Scotland Yard said Saturday's operation relates to suspected inappropriate payments to police officers and other public officials to gather news. "[It] is not about seeking journalists to reveal confidential sources in relation to information that has been obtained legitimately," detectives said in a statement.

In addition to the five Sun employees, police also arrested a 39-year-old Surrey police officer, a 39-year-old Ministry of Defense employee, and a 36-year-old serving member of the Armed Forces. "The home addresses of those arrested are currently being searched," police said.

Police were also carrying out a number of searches at the offices of News International, a division of News Corporation, in East London.

"News Corporation remains committed to ensuring that unacceptable news gathering practices by individuals in the past will not be repeated and last summer authorized the MSC to co-operate with the relevant authorities," News Corporation said in its statement. "The MSC will continue to ensure that all appropriate steps are taken to protect legitimate journalistic privilege and sources, private or personal information and legal privilege."

In January, British police arrested four other current and former employees of The Sun, as well as a police officer, as part of their investigation, Operation Elveden. Officials have now widened their investigation to include public officials who are not police officers.
