Former senior Scotland Yard officer Ali Dizaei has been told that he could have been a victim of phone hacking by the News of the World.
Detectives investigating hacking by the newspaper said a phone belonging to Mr Dizaei was called on numerous occasions in 2006, his lawyers said.
The paper's royal editor and a private investigator were jailed in 2006 for phone hacking, but inquiries continue.
Mr Dizaei said he would sue the paper if his phone had been hacked.
