Norman Siegel, a former head of the New York civil liberties union, said he was actively investigating legal options in both federal and New York state courts in regard to allegations that News Corp employees bribed police in the UK. He is working alongside a second New York lawyer, Steve Hyman, and in tandem with Mark Lewis of the UK firm Taylor Hampton, who represented the family of Milly Dowler. "The allegations of phone hacking and bribery against News Corporation are serious and substantial, and we will approach this initial exploration with that same seriousness," Siegel said. |
