Lee Sandell, who worked at News Corp.’s News International U.K. publishing arm, sought to pervert the course of justice by working to hide evidence with Brooks, the unit’s former chief executive officer, and four others, the Crown Prosecution Service said today in a statement.

“It is in the public interest to charge Mr. Sandell with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice,” the CPS said in the statement. Sandell is scheduled to appear in a London criminal court tomorrow.
