Murdoch dubbed "Mafia boss" of News Corp phone-hacking scandal

2012-07-26 31 Dailymotion

James Murdoch turned on his former News of the World colleagues as he fought to survive a second grilling over a phone-hacking scandal by British politicians and keep his place in his father's media empire, News Corp.<br /><br />Murdoch blamed Colin Myler, the last editor of the now-defunct Sunday tabloid, for giving him incomplete information, and accused the newspaper's ex-legal chief, Tom Crone, of misleading the committee of MPs investigating the hacking.<br /><br />Previously, News Corp had maintained the hacking was the work of a lone, "rogue" royal reporter, Clive Goodman, and private detective Glenn Mulcaire. Both went to jail for the offence in 2007.<br /><br />Though Murdoch appeared regretful, the parliamentarians questioning him did not seem to buy his story. At one point, Labour lawmaker Tom Watson compared him to a "Mafia boss".<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee reports from Westminster, England.
