Charged with crimes

This is a chronological list of individuals charged with crimes relating to the phone hacking scandal since 1999. Some individuals are listed more than once because they were charged at different times for different offenses. As of September 2012, 31 people had been charged, including five who had been charged twice. The first two were charged in 1999 relating to alleged bribery of a police officer to obtain confidential information from a police computer. They were tried but acquitted when the judge directed the verdict due to lack of evidence. The next four were private investigators charged in 2005 for illegal acquisition of confidential information. They were not convicted. Then next five were private investigators also charged in 2005 for illegal acquisition of confidential information. All pleaded guilty or were otherwise convicted of breaching the Data Protection Act. The next two were charged in 2005 with hacking into the phones of members of the Royal Household. Both pleaded guilty to the charges. The next six, charged on 15 May 2012, were former News International CEO Rebekah Brooks, her husband, her personal assistant, her bodyguard, her chauffeur, and the head of security at News International. They were charged in relation to removal of documents and computers, allegedly to conceal them from investigating detectives. A seventh person, a former News International security guard, was charged relating to the same case on 12 September 2012. Two computers were found in a parking garage trash bin near Brook's home. These charges were made about 1 year after the Metropolitan Police Service reopened its dormant investigation into phone hacking, about 3 years after the then Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service told the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee that "no additional evidence has come to light," 5 years after News International executives began claiming that phone hacking was the work of a single "rogue reporter,

after ''The Guardian'' began reporting that the Met had evidence of widespread illegal acquisition of confidential information, and 13 years after the Met began accumulating "boxloads" of that evidence but kept it unexamined in trash bags at Scotland Yard. On 30 May 2012, Scotland police charged Andy Coulson with perjury relating to the trial of Tommy Sheridan held there in 2010 during the period Coulson was a senior adviser to Prime Minister David Cameron. In August 2012, Strathclyde police charged two additional former employees of ''News of the World'', both former editors for the Scotland edition, with perjury relating to the same trial. Another eight people, charged on 24 July 2012, were all former employees or agents of ''News of the World'', and included head editors Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, both of whom had already been charged with different crimes. Of the thirteen suspects that had been referred to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) by the Metropolitan Police Service for review, eight were charged with a total of nineteen charges, three that had worked for or contributed articles to ''News of the World'' were not to be pursued due to insufficient evidence (Terenia Taras, Raoul Simons, Ross Hall), and two were to continue to be investigated. Seven of the eight were "charged with conspiring to intercept communications without lawful authority from 3rd October 2000 to 9th August 2006." All eight were charged with illegal interception of communications relating to specific individuals. In August 2012, additional files covering possible crimes were submitted to CPS by the Met for advice prior to making formal charges. The seven individuals including four journalists alleged to have been involved in wrongdoing, included one in relation to Operation Sacha under which Rebekah Brooks and others were charged, two members of the public in relation to money laundering under
