Leveson Inquiry: Sue Akers evidence examined by attorney general
The attorney general is examining whether the Metropolitan Police officer leading the phone hacking inquiry has prejudiced any trials resulting from the investigation.
The move by Dominic Grieve comes after Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers told the Leveson inquiry the Sun had a "culture of illegal payments".
His spokeswoman said the attorney general "will consider the concerns".
