Brooks and her husband, racehorse trainer Charlie Brooks, are among six people arrested today on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice in connection with Scotland Yard's Operation Weeting, the investigation into the phone hacking that went on at the News of the World and may have occurred at other British tabloids, The Guardian reports. Two noneditorial employees of News International, the Murdoch-owned parent company of News of the World, were also arrested – one of whom is reported to be Mark Hanna, News International's head of security, the Financial Times reports.
...the questioning is "thought likely to center on reports last year that after Rebekah Brooks was first arrested [in July 2011] over alleged phone-hacking, her husband tried to reclaim a bag containing a laptop computer, mobile phone and private papers."
In that incident, the bag was discovered in a garage dumpster under a gated community where Brooks owns an apartment. After community security handed the bag over to police, Brooks's husband attempted to reclaim the bag, saying that it had been mistakenly thrown away by cleaners.
PM David Cameron is very close to the couple and can expect some nasty flak at the very least...
