The publisher of the News of the World paid £1m in court costs after its journalists were accused of involvement in phone tapping, it has been claimed. The Guardian says three cases were settled out of court after journalists allegedly hired private investigators who obtained the information illegally. It claims News Group paid £700,000 in damages and costs to the head of the professional footballers' association. News International told the paper the case "means nothing to anyone here".
