Leveson Inquiry: Evidence suggests 'network of corrupt officials'
Police are investigating a "network of corrupt officials" as part of their inquiries into phone hacking and police corruption, a media inquiry has heard.
Detective Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers told the Leveson Inquiry that evidence suggested a "culture of illegal payments" at the Sun newspaper.
She said payments allegedly made by The Sun were authorised at a senior level.
