Station faces police inquiry into fatal royal prank In happier times: 2day FM radio hosts Mel Greig and Michael Christian. Radio station 2Day FM is being investigated by police over the "royal hoax" that led to the death of a British nurse. The investigation could lead to criminal charges if it is found to have broken the law by recording and broadcasting the prank phone call without permission. The inquiry was started at the behest of Scotland Yard, which asked Australian authorities this month to consider "whether any offences were committed under Australian legislation." In December, 2Day hosts Michael Christian and Mel Greig rang a London hospital and duped nurse Jacintha Saldanha into believing they were Prince Charles and the Queen. She transferred their call to another nurse, who divulged private information about the Duchess of Cambridge. Saldanha subsequently killed herself, blaming the DJs in her suicide note. In February, Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said there was no evidence to support a manslaughter charge. It also said it would "not be in the public interest" to pursue lesser charges relating to data protection and malicious communications. The radio station has declined to comment. On Wednesday, it was revealed Greig had taken legal action against 2Day FM for "failing to provide a safe workplace." Legal experts told Fairfax Media she has a strong case and could received "a six- or seven-figure payout." Greig has been off air since the tragedy. While still employed by 2Day FM's owner Southern Cross Austereo, it is believed she wants to terminate her contract. Lifeline 13 11 14
