Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator jailed in 2007 for intercepting celebrities’ voice mails while working for News Corp.’s News of the World tabloid, must reveal who told him to hack phones, a U.K. judge ruled.
Mulcaire on July 29 was told he can’t appeal a High Court order that he name who at the paper told him to intercept voice-mail messages for model Elle Macpherson and other public figures, according to the lawyer for Steve Coogan, a comedian who believes his phone was hacked. The names must be revealed by Aug. 26, he said.
