Detective guilty of offering NoW leak for cash

A former Metropolitan Police detective has been found guilty of offering to sell inside information on the phone-hacking probe to the News of the World.

Det Ch Insp April Casburn, 53, from Essex, was convicted last month of misconduct in public office.

The counter-terrorism officer was the first person to be prosecuted under Operation Elveden, the probe into payments by journalists to officials.
