The News of the World has released a statement on allegations of "Phone Hacking." It stated that it was about to support some litigants with an"unreserved apology and an admission of liability in cases meeting specific criteria."
In response Tommy Sheridan's solicitor Aamer Anwar has issued this statement.
""NEWS OF THE WORLD MUST BE INVESTIGATED FOR ALLEGATIONS OF PERJURY AT SHERIDAN TRIAL"
Several Senior Editors of the News of the World testified during the Tommy Sheridan trial that phone hacking was down to a single rogue reporter.
We always knew that to be a lie. News International is now accepting liability for several claims.
It is essential that the Scottish police and the Metropolitan Police examine the evidence of Andy Coulson as well as others to consider whether
perjury was committed by them and whether they were aware of Mr Sheridan’s phone being hacked along with others.
If no one is above the law, then those who gave evidence on behalf of News International must be investigated over allegations of perjury.
News International must not be allowed to use their resources to buy their way out of criminal prosecution by silencing those who raised civil actions.
