A senior Metropolitan Police detective has been charged with offering information to the News of the World (NoW) newspaper.

The Crown Prosecution Service said Det Ch Insp April Casburn had been charged with misconduct in a public office and will appear in court next month.

She is the first person charged in connection with Operation Elveden, which is investigating alleged links between the police and press.

The NoW was closed in July 2011.

Det Ch Insp Casburn is accused of offering to give the paper information in September 2010 and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 1 October for an initial hearing.

Alison Levitt, the CPS's principal legal adviser, said: "The CPS received a file of evidence from the Metropolitan Police Service which arose from Operation Elveden in relation to April Casburn. Ms Casburn is employed by the Metropolitan Police Service as a detective chief inspector in specialist operations.

"We have concluded, having carefully considered the file of evidence, that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and that it is in the public interest to charge DCI Casburn with misconduct in public office."

The BBC's home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said Det Ch Insp Casburn was the former head of the National Terrorist Financial Investigation Unit.

She is thought to have worked as a fraud expert at the City of London Police, prior to joining the Met.

Fifty people, including the former NoW editor and ex-Downing Street communications chief Andy Coulson, and former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks, have been arrested as part of Operation Elveden. But other than Det Ch Insp Casburn, no-one has yet been charged.

Lightbulb Phone-hacking: Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson in court

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19725264

Quote:
Former News International boss Rebekah Brooks and David Cameron's former communications director Andy Coulson are due to appear in court on charges related to alleged phone hacking.

They are expected at the Old Bailey along with five former News of the World journalists, accused of conspiracy to access voicemails.

Prosecutors say the charge could relate to more than 600 victims.

Private investigator Glenn Mulcaire will also appear in court.

Mr Mulcaire stands accused of four counts relating to specific people.

The former staff members at the now-defunct NoW newspaper are its ex-managing editor Stuart Kuttner, former news editor Greg Miskiw, former head of news Ian Edmondson, ex-reporter James Weatherup and former chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck.

Mr Coulson - who was NoW editor from 2003-07; Mrs Brooks who edited the paper from 2000-03 before moving to edit the Sun and then becoming chief executive officer of the two papers' parent group News International are accused along with the five other journalists of conspiracy to unlawfully intercept communications.

In a separate case, Mrs Brooks, 44, from Churchill in Oxfordshire - along with her husband, Charlie, and five others - are expected in court accused of perverting the course of justice.

The charges relate to an alleged attempt to hide evidence from police investigating phone hacking claims, and illegal payments to public officials by the NoW and the Sun.

Mrs Brooks's chauffeur Paul Edwards, former personal assistant Cheryl Carter, head of security at News International Mark Hanna, and security staff Daryl Jorsling and Lee Sandell also face the charges.

Arrow Phone hacking: Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson in 2013 trial

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19725264

Quote:
Former News International boss Rebekah Brooks and ex-Downing Street communications chief Andy Coulson have learned their trial over phone-hacking claims will take place next September.

They are among seven ex-News of the World staff accused of conspiracy to access voicemails. Prosecutors say the charge could involve about 600 victims.

Private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, facing four counts relating to specific people, was also at the Old Bailey.

A 9 September 2013 trial date was set.

The former staff members from the now-defunct News of the World newspaper who are also facing trial are its ex-managing editor Stuart Kuttner, former news editor Greg Miskiw, former head of news Ian Edmondson, ex-reporter James Weatherup and former chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck.

As well as a general conspiracy to unlawfully intercept communications charge, other charges relate to specific people.

Mr Coulson was News of the World editor from 2003 to 2007 and Mrs Brooks edited the paper from 2000 to 2003, before moving on to edit the Sun and then becoming chief executive officer of the two papers' parent group News International.

Mr Kuttner was excused from attending Wednesday's hearing.

The provisional trial date was set for 9 September next year and all defendants were released on bail.

In a separate case, Mrs Brooks, 44, from Churchill in Oxfordshire, her husband, Charlie, and five others appeared before the court accused of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Mrs Brooks's chauffeur Paul Edwards, former personal assistant Cheryl Carter, head of security at News International Mark Hanna, and security staff Daryl Jorsling and Lee Sandell also face the charges.

They relate to an alleged attempt to hide evidence from police investigating phone-hacking claims and illegal payments to public officials by the News of the World and the Sun.

Lightbulb Phone-hacking: 22 victims 'reach court settlement'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-20728141

Quote:
Twenty-two victims of the News of The World phone-hacking scandal have accepted damages to settle their cases, London's High Court has heard.

The claimants include DJ Jamie Theakston, the ex-wife of golfer Colin Montgomerie - Eimear Cook - and the ex-partner of Jade Goody, Jeff Brazier.

Lead counsel Hugh Tomlinson QC said they had accepted offers of substantial damages from NoW publisher, News Group.

Other cases are likely to settle before January, he added.

"It is also right to say that there will remain a substantial number of claims going forward," he said.

Among the other claimants who have reached a settlement over the now defunct newspaper's actions are Colin Stagg, who was wrongly accused of the murder of Rachael Nickell, Robbie Williams's ex-girlfriend, Lisa Brash, and Major David Brookes.

Major Brookes is a relative by marriage of Mr Justice Vos, the judge presiding over the litigation.

There were some 167 phone hacking claims on the register prior to the settlements announced today.
No doubt the sums are in the £100ks .....
