Sunday Mirror Confirms Phone-Hacking Probe
The publisher of the Sunday Mirror is being investigated over alleged phone hacking, its parent company has confirmed.
A number of Sunday Mirror journalists have been arrested over phone hacking, but Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) itself is now being investigated.
It is understood the investigation is at a "very early stage".
A spokeswoman for Trinity said the company "has been notified by the Metropolitan Police that they are at a very early stage in investigating whether MGN is criminally liable for the alleged unlawful conduct by previous employees in relation to phone hacking on the Sunday Mirror."
She added that the group "takes these allegations seriously", and: "It is too soon to know how these matters will progress and further updates will be made if there are any significant developments."
Trinity Mirror's share price fell by more than 6% soon after it announced the police investigation, before later recovering.
