Sydney, June 8 (ANI): The high-profile trial of former News International Chief Executive Rebekah Brooks will begin from September 9.
Britain's phone hacking scandal in which the staff from the newspaper allegedly conspired to hack the voicemail of celebrities and voice mails of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler in 2002 let to the shut down of the weekly tabloid in 2011, reports News.com.
According to the report, Brooks will be facing the trial with Andy Coulson, Prime Minister David Cameron's ex-spin doctor and former editor of Rupert Murdoch's now de-funct News of the World along with seven other employees accused of conspiracy.
However, Brooks denied charges of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice by concealing information from police investigating phone hacking and claims of corrupt payments to employees at The Sun and News of the World.
Brook's husband Charlie who was the head of security at News International will also face the trial on charges of hiding the evidence from the police.
The phone hacking scandal rocked Murdoch's media empire forcing him to shut the tabloid and embarrassed Cameron who is friends with Brooks and her husband and helped employ Coulson as key member of his team both when he was in opposition and when he came to office. (ANI)
