Murdoch to take charge of Sun crisis
Rupert Murdoch is expected to fly to the UK today to take charge of the crisis at the Sun after ten journalists were arrested over alleged corrupt payments.
There is anger at the tabloid that News Corporation’s Management Standards Committee (MSC) – formed to clean up the company following the phone hacking scandal – gave police the information that led to the arrests.
Mr Murdoch has already said he will not sell or close the Sun, and will seek to reassure staff during his visit.
Five senior Sun journalists were held by detectives last Sasturday on suspicion of making improper payments to police and public officials.
Four current and former employees of the paper were arrested a fortnight earlier, and a senior reporter was detained in November.
They have all been bailed and none of those arrested has been charged.
