There’s no indication that this interview has taken place.
It’s highly unlikely that the billionaire will ever be charged — no senior member of the News UK management has been convicted.
And the US-based tycoon will probably be able to hide behind the shield of “plausible deniability” — he wasn’t aware of the “dark arts” being practiced by his editors and reporters.
The word “probably” is used here because there’s a chance that evidence does exist.
Press Gang will be exploring this issue in future articles.
