A 71-year-old man has been arrested in connection with an investigation into phone hacking, London's Metropolitan Police said Tuesday.
The man, who has not been named, is being held on suspicion of conspiracy to intercept communications and corruption allegations, a police statement said.
The arrest is the latest to follow claims of phone hacking and bribery by staff at the now-defunct News of the World newspaper, which was run by News International, the British subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. media empire.
The man held is believed to be Stuart Kuttner, former managing editor of News of the World, according to UK broadcaster Sky News, which is also part of News Corp.
News International told CNN it had no comment to make over the arrest.
