From Bloomberg:
A former News Corp. (NWSA) security staff member in Britain was charged over claims he conspired with ex- company executive Rebekah Brooks to obstruct a probe into phone hacking at the now-defunct News of the World tabloid.
Lee Sandell, who worked at News Corp.’s News International U.K. publishing arm, sought to pervert the course of justice by working to hide evidence with Brooks, the unit’s former chief executive officer, and four others, the Crown Prosecution Service said today in a statement.
“It is in the public interest to charge Mr. Sandell with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice,” the CPS said in the statement. Sandell is scheduled to appear in a London criminal court tomorrow.

From Zee News (India):
The Police said in a statement: "Lee Sandell, Rebekah Brooks, Charles Brooks, Mark Hanna, Paul Edwards and Daryl Jorsling on a day between July 15, 2011, and July 19, 2011, conspired together, and with persons unknown, to do an act or series of acts which had a tendency to pervert the course of public justice".
The statement said the accused wanted to "conceal documents, computers and other electronic devices, from officers of the MPS who were investigating allegations of phone hacking and corruption of public officials in relation to the News of the World and The Sun newspapers, contrary to Sec 1 (1) of the Criminal Law Act 1977".

Sounds like Scotland Yard has the whole story on this cover-up attempt. One of the participants probably sang. I'd say Ms. Brooks' goose is cooked.
