Gazza's phone-hacking 'distress'

13:05, Feb 8 2012

 

Ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne suffered "mental harm and distress" after his phone messages were hacked by the News of the World, the High Court has been told.

And comedian Steve Coogan complained that neither "the police nor the Government" had been willing to hold hackers to account.

Both men were among a list of celebrities and politicians whose hacking damages claims have been settled, a judge heard.

Gascoigne accepted a £68,000 payout from News of the World publisher News Group Newspapers and Coogan £40,000, Mr Justice Vos was told at a hearing in London.
