UPDATE 1-Police investigating Trinity Mirror over phone hacking liability Sep 12th 2013, 07:13 Thu Sep 12, 2013 3:13am EDT LONDON, Sept 12 (Reuters) - British newspaper publisher Trinity Mirror said on Thursday the police were investigating whether the group was criminally liable for alleged phone hacking by previous employees on the Sunday Mirror tabloid. "The Group does not accept wrong doing within its business and takes these allegations seriously," the company said in a statement. The practice of phone hacking to obtain illegally material for stories came to light two year ago at Rupert Murdoch's News Corp's now closed News of the World title. Police arrested four former editors from the Sunday Mirror tabloid in March - the first arrests related to a title outside Murdoch's stable - and said they were looking into a suspected conspiracy at Mirror Group between 2003 and 2004 to hack into voicemails. Shares in the group, which plunged to a four-month low of 81.5 pence in March following the arrests before gradually recovering, were down 6.6 percent at 119.75 pence at 0707 GMT. A source familiar with the matter told Reuters in August that London police were also actively investigating Murdoch's British newspaper business for possible criminal violations over allegations of phone-hacking and illegal payments to public officials by its journalists. News Corp has said it is aware of the police inquiry but has given no further details. The investigation had previously appeared to be focused on newspaper employees rather than the corporations.
