Questioning Murdoch about why so little information was shared, Labour Member of Parliament Tom Watson suggested the company operated an "omerta" code of silence. He said the "omerta" was "a group of people who are bound together by secrecy, who together pursue their group's business objectives with no regard for the law, using intimidation, corruption and general criminality."

"Would you agree with me that this is an accurate description of News International in the UK?" Watson asked.

Murdoch replied: "Absolutely not, I frankly think that's offensive and it's not true."

To gasps of amazement from fellow MPs on the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Watson went on: "You must be the first Mafia boss in history who didn't know he was running a criminal enterprise."
