Piers Morgan interviewed by police over phone hacking

On December 6, 2013, Piers Morgan, the former editor of Mirror Group Newspapers, was interviewed under caution by police officers as part of Operation Weeting. This operation was a significant investigation into phone hacking allegations that had plagued the media industry, particularly focusing on practices during Morgan's editorial tenure. The inquiry aimed to uncover the extent of illegal activities related to phone tapping and other unethical journalistic practices that had come to light in the wake of the News of the World scandal. Morgan's interview was a critical component of the broader investigation, which sought to hold accountable those involved in such criminal behavior within the media. The interview raised questions about the culture of tabloid journalism and the ethical boundaries that were often crossed in pursuit of sensational stories. As the investigation unfolded, it highlighted the need for greater accountability and transparency in the media sector, prompting discussions about the future of journalistic integrity in the UK.
