Former News Corp execs charged with bribery
Excerpt:NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Four former News Corp. journalists were charged with bribery Tuesday -- the latest development in the scandal that forced the company to close one of its papers and led to plans to spin off the company's print operations into a separate company. The latest U. K. charges could increase the chance that News Corp. itself will face problems in the United States as well, since the U. S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act makes it illegal for companies here to engage in bribery of foreign officials. The charges announced in London were against Andy Coulson, who was an editor at the News of the World and later served as spokesman for British Prime Minister David Cameron, as well as Clive Goodman, who was the royal correspondent for News of the World.
