"Allegations of Cover-Up: New Washington Post CEO and Rupert Murdoch Under Fire"

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch and The Washington Post's CEO, Will Lewis, are accused of covering up phone hacking and other illegal acts by Murdoch's British tabloids. Allegations suggest that Murdoch knowingly gave false evidence under oath and Lewis actively plotted to cover up senior executives' role in the scandal. The accusations threaten to tie the two men together as Lewis takes on his new role at The Washington Post. The scandal involves invasion of privacy, including phone and computer hacking, and payments to acquire confidential personal information. The legal battle continues as litigants seek to amend their phone-hacking lawsuit against Murdoch's British newspaper arm.

"Prince Harry Reveals Murdoch's Secret Settlement with Prince William Over Phone-Hacking"

Court filings reveal that Rupert Murdoch's media business secretly paid Prince William a "very large sum of money" to settle a phone-hacking claim in 2020. Prince Harry submitted the legal documents as part of his own legal battle with the publisher, alleging that the company targeted him with widespread illegal activity for much of his life. Harry claims there was a secret agreement struck between the royal family and "senior executives" at Murdoch's company at some point before 2012, which News UK denies. Murdoch's media empire is fighting to avoid being dragged into another high-profile court case.
