JAMES Murdoch has severed all ties with News Corp's British newspaper business, which is at the center of multiple investigations over phone and computer hacking and bribery, according to regulatory filings.
Murdoch is under scrutiny for his role in failing to uncover systematic illegal interception of phone calls at the News of the World newspaper, which was shut down in July, and resigned as chairman of News International, News Corp's UK publishing arm last month.
One document last week showed Murdoch has resigned from the board of Times Newspaper Holdings, set up to protect the independence of the Times of London and the Sunday Times when News Corp bought them in 1981.
Earlier documents show Murdoch quit from the boards of News Corp Investments and News International Publishers Ltd.
