A former senior editor at the Mail on Sunday has said that claims that he had been informed of phone hacking by a private investigator and knew stories were sourced through these means was “false”.
Chris Anderson, 63, was employed by Associated Newspapers Limited as associate editor from 1999 to 2008, and told the High Court that he would have been “crazy” and “nuts” to commission a story in 2006 on politician Sir Simon Hughes, having known it was obtained through unlawful means.
