British prosecutors accused a group of former top journalists at News Corp.'s now-closed News of the World tabloid including former editors Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson of conspiring to hack the voice mail of more than 600 celebrities, sports stars, politicians and crime victims. 英国检方对资讯集团(News Corp.)旗下已关闭的小报《世界资讯报》(News of the World)前主编布鲁克斯(Rebekah Brooks)和库尔森(Andy Coulson)等多位高层报业人士提出指控，称他们曾密谋劫持600多位名人、体育明星、政界人士和罪案受害人的语音邮件。 The charges are the result of an 18-month police investigation into phone-hacking at the Sunday tabloid. The eight defendants seven former News of the World journalists and a private detective collectively face 19 charges of conspiracy to intercept communications from October 2000 to August 2006. Associated Press本次电话窃听丑闻中有八人面临指控，前《世界资讯报》主编布鲁克斯是其中之一。警方对这份周日小报的电话窃听案进行了长达18个月的调查，上述指控是在调查结束后提出的。八位被告当中，有七位是曾供职《世界资讯报》的资讯工作者，一位是私家侦探，他们共面临19项指控，罪名是在2000年10月至2006年8月间密谋截获通讯内容。 The charges allege that the individuals conspired to intercept voice-mail messages tied to celebrities including Paul McCartney and Brad Pitt and others in the news, such as Milly Dowler, a murdered 13-year-old schoolgirl. The revelation last summer that the abducted girl's voice mail had been hacked turned a long-simmering problem into an explosive scandal for News Corp., leading to a string of executive departures and the closing of the News of the World. |
