#Hackgate #Leveson : #NoW Computers Destroyed

The phone hacking scandal has taken a new twist after it was revealed computers used by News of the World journalists were destroyed by putting them 'through a grinder'.


They were 'taken out and smashed up' last autumn at a time when News International was being sued over the illegal activity at the now-defunct Sunday tabloid.

 The computers were destroyed during a move from the paper's headquarters in east London to an office at the nearby Thomas More Square, a court has heard.
