Cherie Blair sues over hacking
The wife of former Prime Minister Tony Blair has begun legal action over the alleged interception of her private phone messages, her lawyer said yesterday. Barrister Cherie Blair, 57, issued a statement through a London law firm that has pursued phone-hacking cases against Rupert Murdoch’s British newspapers on behalf of several high profile clients. “I can confirm that we have issued a claim on behalf of Cherie Blair in relation to the unlawful interception of her voicemails,” lawyer Graham Atkins, of Atkins Thomson, said in the statement.
