Murdoch To Fly To London To Take Charge Of Phone Hacking Crisis
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/07/09/murdoch-flies-to-london-t_n_893775.htmlNews Corp Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch is expected to arrive in London on Sunday to take personal charge of the developing phone-hacking crisis that is threatening to engulf his UK business.
Murdoch has kept a low-profile as allegations against the News of the World have mounted. The News Corp chief spent most of the week at the Allen & Co conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, and has declined to answer questions from journalists.
Sky News reported that Murdoch is expected to arrive in Wapping on Sunday after the staff of the News of the World have published the last edition of the newspaper. News Corp have not commented on Murdoch's agenda.
It was announced on Thursday that Sunday's edition of the News of the World will be its last after claims that it paid private investigators to illegally intercept the voicemail messages of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, bereaved military families and relatives of 7/7 bombing victims.
