Miller to take legal action against ‘News of the World’ over phone hacking

LONDON - Actress Sienna Miller is all set to sue ‘News of the World’ over phone hacking.

The favourite cover girl of magazine editors and the star of such films as Alfie and Layer Cake is understood to have discovered that her mobile phone was targeted by Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator hired by the News of the World at a cost of 100,000 pounds-a-year, reports the Independent.

Miller, who reportedly noticed that a number of her messages were described as being “old” even though she had not listened to them, is understood to be intending to join a legal action being brought by Bindmans, a firm of London solicitors which is seeking a judicial review of Scotland Yard’s failure to warn individuals whom it knew to be on Mulcaire’s list of targets.

News Group has consistently denied that there was a culture of phone hacking among News of the World journalists and has told MPs that Goodman and Mulcaire were rogue operators.

Sienna Miller is one of several public figures who is considering action, have launched legal proceedings or called for a judicial review of the police conduct in the case. (ANI)
