LONDON (AP) – The British tabloid at the center of a phone-hacking scandal says it has suspended an employee after an allegation of misconduct.
The News of the World said Wednesday a staff member was suspended just before Christmas after a serious allegation of misconduct that is the subject of litigation between actress Sienna Miller and the paper.
The tabloid has faced scrutiny in recent months because of the tactics it has used to get material.
Ex-editor Andy Coulson quit in 2007 after his royal reporter and a private investigator were convicted of hacking phone voicemail messages left for royal officials. Coulson, who denies wrongdoing, is now Prime Minister David Cameron’s communications director.
