Abstract

As the police in London questioned a 12th suspect in connection with Britain's widening phone hacking scandal on Wednesday, Scotland Yard announced that Dick Fedorcio, its longtime director of public affairs, had been placed on extended leave until the criminal inquiries were concluded. Mr. Fedorcio, an 11-year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Service in London, was criticized by a parliamentary committee last month for hiring Neil Wallis, a former deputy editor at The News of the World, as a public relations consultant for the police from October 2009 until September 2010.
