Harry vs Tabloids. What if there is anything next?

Did Hero Prince kill Tabloid Dragon? Or was it quoted by one of its most memorable headlines, was the sun watt won it?

The dust is still frozen on the settlement of Prince Harry’s historic legal battle against news group newspapers.

If the trial had moved forward, Prince Harry had alleged that he had been victims of illegal news aggregation by NGN journalists between 1996 and 2011 – and its leaders had covered the wrongdoing by destroying the evidence – which the company rejected Was. But not eight weeks trial Because both sides suddenly reached a compromise.

He has apologized for infiltration by The Sun, in which NGN has admitted that illegal information was collected by private investigators working for the newspaper.

NGN has not accepted illegal activity by journalists or editors – and the agreement means that the judge will no longer decide whether it was, as Duke’s team is accused, a corporate cover -up of wrongdoing, wrongdoing. – One claim NGN denied and said. Will fight in the trial.

The place between the situations in which both sides will feel that they have won something, now there is a battleground.

The question is, how far can a campaign around historical events go to the reality? Is this week starting the investigation or is in fact, the last chapter?

The main focus of pressure and lobbying would be the police – because the preachers believe that the Scotland Yard did not move much further in its previous investigation, missing the opportunity to extend its attention beyond the wrongdoing in The News of the World.

Talking to the BBC on Friday, actor Hue Grant – who said that financial risks forced him to compromise with the owners of The Sun last year – said the police’s work was not completed in any way ” – And they were never going to help by sueing newspapers. On full truth.

Therefore, all eyes will be on former Labor Deputy Leader Lord Tom Watson, which NGN has admitted that he was kept under supervision in 2009 by the news of the world reporters.

The last contenders with Prince Harry say that a doseer Metropolitan will go to the police.

Met has said on its behalf that no active criminal investigation has been done in the wrong acts of the alleged newspaper.

That statement also means that despite the decision of a judge in 2023, there has been no current investigation of different titles of Mirror Group that he used the phone hacking to get information about Prince Harry.

So why there is no investigation?

The police is not dismissing anyone, but Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowle told LBC Radio on Friday that he would need to see some “fundamentally new”.

And this is because the Scotland Yard believes that he had conducted a major investigation 10 years ago.

Team Harry believes that it is extremely short -sighted. While some of his employed evidence for the NGN trial came from the police, his lawyers also received new documents from NGN under the rules of fair hearing.

Can that be a new proof? Let’s take the example of the records of innumerable payments to private investigators.

Team Harry and Watson must have tried to prove in the trial that many people were in favor of illegal activity. At one level you can see that it will definitely fit into the test of a fundamental new thing.

But, in its defense, the news group must have argued that none of these proven journalists or any other in the sun knew that the information was being collected illegally – less than the inking of a criminal enterprise.

From this single episode we were expecting to see in the test how would it have been struggling rather than accepting each charge against NGN. And if the police knocks the company’s door with their Lashkar, they may also face a similar strong response.

And this is the reason that it will be important to emphasize the promise made by Lord Watson to the police. A very big thing has to be said in this. And in the absence of court decisions – this challenge becomes even bigger.

Theoretically other bodies can function. The Culture, Media and Sports Selection Committee of Parliament investigated the allegations of phone-hacking in 2011. It is likely to face calls to review the evidence of NGN CEO Ribka Brooks and others – evidence that NGN will stand as there is no conclusion of illegal activity in court. Journalist, Editor or Officer.

There is also the office of the Information Commissioner. The origins of this story had a role of investigating privacy and data violations by private investigators. The ICO says that there is no plan to reopen or review this investigation.

The government has already refused to launch the second phase of the public investigation promised by David Cameron, “Leaveson 2”. Its purpose was to investigate “illegal or inappropriate conduct” in all tabloids and whether the police, directly, had blindly turned the eyes on it because they had become very close to journalists, who were probably paying them. Were. But this never happened.

Workers in the government will not reconsider this as much time has passed.
