Rebekah Brooks Charged

Both Brooks and her husband have been charged with perverting the course of justice based on the phone hacking inquiry, other staff at the closed news of world and news international security have also been charged.

There are also 40 other people who still remain on police bail. Mrs Brooks will appear before Westminster magistrates Court on the 13th June charged with offences ranging from hiding documents and computers fro the police.

As this is now a criminal investigation it may well be that a Directors & Officers Insurance policy will be called upon should it exist and if it extended to cover criminal prosecution.

Financial Lines brokers, Professional Insurance Agents Ltd spokes person said "the brokers and insurance company that will be looking after any claims on this case will need deep pockets for both legal costs and any damages awarded assuming a Directors & Officers Insurance policy existed!
