A statement by their lawyer David Sherborne said, “These allegations include hacking messages on mobile phone, tapping calls, bugging calls, getting private information such as medical records by deception or blagging, and commissioning the breaking and entry into private property”.
Sherborne also said that “The alleged activity ran from 1993 to 2011, and even up to 2018”.
