Slimy tabloid actions about to catch up with him?
Via The Australian:
US show host Piers Morgan confirmed Friday that he has been interviewed by British police investigating the illegal interception of telephone voicemails.
Morgan, formerly a tabloid newspaper editor in Britain, was not arrested but was “interviewed under caution” on December 6 by British detectives investigating the long-running phone hacking scandal.
“This was further to a full witness statement I had already freely provided,” Morgan said in a statement. “I attended that interview as requested.”
He has consistently denied wrongdoing.
The Metropolitan Police said a 48-year-old journalist was questioned under caution on that date. That means the interview was recorded and could be used in future prosecutions.
A police statement said the questioning is linked to phone hacking at Mirror Group Newspapers, one of the UK’s biggest media groups.
Just a legal note: “Interviewing under caution” is a formal interview where police advise you of your rights during the course of an investigation. You have the right to an attorney. It is not just a random witness interview, it indicates that they may be looking at you as a potential suspect in an action, although you are not arrested and are free to leave.
