11 July 2012. In the first confirmed cases of alleged corruption outside Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, two British journalists were arrested for bribing public officials for getting leads to news stories.
Media group Trinity Mirror said it was cooperating with police after officers detained Justin Penrose from its Sunday Mirror newspaper, while Sky News named the other journalist as Tom Savage from the Daily Star Sunday. The two were arrested as part of an inquiry into inappropriate payments to police which were uncovered by a wider probe into phone-hacking. Phone-hacking scandal forced Murdoch to close his News of the World tabloid last year.
