London: UK today ended its four-year-old probe into the mammoth phone hacking scandal that rocked country’s media establishment and led to the closure of media-moghul Rupert Murdoch’s ‘News of the World’ tabloid. “No further action will be taken against journalists over phone hacking,” the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced today. The body responsible for bringing cases to the court said there was “insufficient evidence” to bring corporate liability charges against Murdoch’s News Group or against 10 individuals at the Mirror Group of newspapers.”After a thorough analysis, we have decided there is insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of a conviction and therefore no further action will be taken in any of these cases,” said Alison Saunders, the director of public prosecutions at the CPS.
