Sun royal editor Duncan Larcombe held in 'illegal payment' raids The Management and Standards Committee was set up by Rupert Murdoch's parent company News Corp in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal that led to the closure of the News of the World last July. The raids bring to 26 the number of people who have now been held as part of the Elveden inquiry - which is linked to the Met's wide-ranging phone hacking probe - since July. In total, more than 50 people have now been arrested by officers investigating phone hacking, computer hacking, and payments to public officials. The arrests came a day after prosecutors announced that they were considering whether to bring charges against 11 suspects in the scandal, after police handed over the first set of files from its investigation. The 11 suspects in the files are believed to include Rebekah Brooks, the former News International chief executive. The files handed over to the CPS relate to four journalists, one police officer and six other individuals and cover a range of alleged offences stemming from the investigation which began when the full extent of the phone hacking scandal was exposed last year.
