This allegation can be made as a result of a case brought against the News of the World by the actress Sienna Miller. The evidence suggests that Mr Edmondson ?C who was news editor of the paper ?C commissioned a private investigator to hack into Miss Miller??s private phone. Court documents indicate that this was a huge-scale operation, because Coulson??s News of the World was also targeting Miss Miller??s mother, her publicist, one of her friends, as well as her partner Jude Law and his personal assistant.
