In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that a massive amount of emails were deleted by a company involved in a hacking lawsuit, raising suspicions among detectives investigating the case. The company, News Corporation, reportedly deleted around 11 million emails in January, followed by another 15.2 million emails in February, just days before reaching an agreement with the police for cooperation in the investigation.
The decision to delete such a large volume of emails was made by Mr. Lewis, a key figure in the company, who gave the “green light” for the deletions. This move raised eyebrows among detectives, who began to question the company’s willingness to cooperate in the investigation.
Despite the company’s voluntary cooperation and the appointment of Mr. Lewis as the primary point of contact for the police, doubts began to emerge among detectives as key evidence seemed to be missing from the emails turned over. Detective Sgt. Wayne Harknett, a computer specialist on the case, noted that expected emails were not present, casting further suspicion on the company’s actions.
The relationship between the company and the police improved with Mr. Lewis’s involvement, with some even dubbing him “News Corp’s cleanup campaigner.” However, as the investigation progressed, it became clear that the company’s cooperation may not have been as genuine as it seemed.
As more evidence emerges in the hacking lawsuit, the true extent of the company’s involvement and the impact of the deleted emails remains to be seen. Stay tuned for further developments in this unfolding story.
