This List of persons arrested in phone-hacking scandal is a chronological listing of individuals arrested in conjunction with the illegal acquisition of confidential information by employees and other agents of news media companies referred to as the "phone hacking scandal." Dates indicate approximately when each arrest was made. The police investigation ("Operation") under which each arrest was made is shown in parentheses. ==Background== In 2004, ten arrests were made under Operation Nigeria following placement of a police listening device in the office of private investigator Jonathan Rees and a subsequent raid on the home of Stephen Whittamore. Recorded conversations and seized documents established that Paul Marshall, a former civilian communications officer based at Tooting police station in London, provided confidential information to Alan King, a retired police officer, who passed it along to private investigator John Boyall, who in turn gave it to private investigator Stephen Whittamore, who in turn sold it to agents of national press organizations. All were convicted of crimes. In 2006, three arrests were made as a result of the Royal Household/Goodman Inquiry into illegal interception of phone messages of members of the Royal household by Clive Goodman and Glenn Mulcaire.〔 Goodman and Mulcaire pleaded guilty to crimes. In September 2009, Metropolitan Police Service Assistant Commissioner John Yates testified before the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee that "there remain now insufficient grounds or evidence to arrest or interview anyone else and...no additional evidence has come to light." In 2011, however, investigations renewed in response to public disclosures from the press. These resulted in many additional arrests that included law enforcement officers, public officials and former editors and executives of news organizations. As of mid-October 2012, over 100 people had been arrested since 1999 relating to illegal acquisition of confidential information. All but 10 of these were arrested or rearrested since police investigations were renewed in 2011. In some cases, a single individual was arrested more than once or arrested in conjunction with more than one police operation. ::09 Operation Nigeria (confidential information) ::03 Royal Household/Goodman Inquiry (phone hacking) ::25 Operation Weeting (phone hacking) ::52 Operation Elveden (computer hacking) ::16 Operation Tuleta (bribery, corruption) ::03 Operation Rubicon (phone hacking, breach of data protection and perjury in Scotland) ::04 No named police operation ::-08 Adjustment for arrests included under more than one operation (e.g. one person arrested for both Weeting and Elveden) ::--- ::104 Total people arrested Of these arrests, at least 40 have been current or former journalists, 21 at ''The Sun'',〔 16 at ''News of the World'', 2 at the ''Mirror'', 1 at ''The Times'', and another from an unnamed newspaper.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of persons arrested in phone-hacking scandal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
