Journalist held in illegal payments probe
Comments |
A national newspaper journalist arrested in Kent over claims of
illegal payments to police and public officials has been
bailed.
The 58-year-old man was one of five Sun
journalists held by police.
Three other people - a member of the Armed Forces, a Ministry of
Defence employee and a serving police officer - were also
arrested.
All eight have now been released on police bail.
The Met Police said the arrests - at addresses
in Kent, London, Essex, Surrey and Wiltshire - were part of
the Operation Elveden investigation into illegal payments.
Operation Elveden was launched as the phone-hacking scandal
erupted last July.
