Reply #2: Phone hacking: Police bail sports writer Raoul Simons [View All]

[dipsydoodle]

The BBC understands he is sports journalist Raoul Simons who used to work at London's Evening Standard before moving to the Times in 2009.

The man was bailed on suspicion of conspiracy to intercept voicemails.

Meanwhile, Guardian reporter Amelia Hill has been questioned under caution over alleged police leaks surrounding the hacking inquiry, the paper said.

It is understood he has not been involved in any inappropriate behaviour while at the Times.

Looks like whatever it was occurred while he was at the Evening Standard. :shrug: At that time the Standard was owned by the same group as the Daily Mail - which makes this even funnier.

The Guardian got dragged into this , quite rightly so , when they published the name of one of the earlier arrests before the police had released the name. The timing of events that day indicated the Guardian was set up to expose them. Since then their scoops on this subject, which they've managed since February , have ground to halt.
