FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The FBI has warned Scotland Yard that it is “prepared to step in” if the British police fails to carry out a full-scale investigation into phone hacking, reported the Independent on Sunday.
“The FBI made it perfectly clear that if the British police drop the ball on this they will pick it up and run with it,” a legal source told the newspaper.
The FBI has access to any piece of evidence obtained by Scotland Yard from the News Corporation. Furthermore, evidence gathered by the Leveson inquiry, set up by the British government to investigate media standards and ethics, is also being passed to the FBI.
The warning from the FBI comes as the head of Scotland Yard, Acting Commissioner Tim Godwin, said last year that the Metropolitan Police would leave “no stone unturned” in their investigation into allegations of phone hacking.
“It will restore confidence in victims who feel they have not been given a service. It will be with no stone unturned. We have some of the most skilled investigators in the country and you will be proud of what they do,” Godwin said in January 2011.
The process of restoring “confidence in victims” was followed by the resignation of Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson in July 2011 over links to the phone hacking scandal.
One day after Stephenson’s resignation, Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner John Yates also resigned over mishandling the scandal.
Following a meeting with Stephenson in 2009, after the Guardian published a series of phone hacking allegations, Yates decided not to reopen the original investigation into the scandal.
Investigations into the phone hacking scandal were conducted from 2005 to 2007 when it was widely believed that one ‘rogue’ reporter, Clive Goodman, who was the royal editor at the News of the World, was responsible for phone hacking activities.
However, allegations made by The Guardian in 2009 showed phone hacking activities were far more common at News International, the British arm of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire which published the News of the World.
The Daily Mail has reported that Rupert Murdoch’s media empire fears a US investigation which may involve more severe financial penalties and longer jail sentences.
