Andy Coulson, a former editor of News Corp.’s News of the World tabloid and ex-press chief of U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, appeared in court for the first time with six other people charged with phone hacking.
Following a 30-minute hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court in London, Judge Daphne Wickham transferred the case to a higher criminal court where they will eventually enter pleas in the conspiracy case. A hearing at Southwark Crown Court was scheduled for additional proceedings on Sept. 26.
