The Crown Prosecution Service is considering whether to charge more News of the World staff in relation to phone hacking, it has been confirmed.

Police files on eight suspects, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have been handed to the CPS for charging advice. The files emerged from a spin-off investigation from Scotland Yard's Operation Weeting, the inquiry that led to the conviction of Andy Coulson and four others at the Old Bailey last month. On Friday, Coulson was jailed for 18 months for plotting to hack phones while he was in charge of the News of the World.
