NEWS Corp chief executive Rupert Murdoch has arrived in London before meetings with his British newspaper employees amid continuing police inquiries into alleged misconduct.
Murdoch, who arrived on a private plane at Luton Airport, planned to hold talks today at The Sun tabloid after five of its employees were arrested Saturday in an inquiry into the alleged payment of bribes to police and defense officials.
A total of 10 current and ex-staff at the tabloid, Britain's biggest-selling newspaper, have now been questioned in the investigation. None have so far been charged with any offense.
British police are also continuing separate inquiries into the illegal interception of cell phone voicemail messages and into alleged email hacking, which have also led to other arrests.
Murdoch's plans for talks were confirmed by a person familiar with his travel plans, who requested anonymity to discuss the media tycoon's schedule.
News International, a British division of News Corp., previously said the visit had long been planned and was not connected to the latest arrests.
Murdoch did not comment, merely smiled, to waiting reporters as he arrived from the airport to his home in London's Mayfair district in a silver Range Rover yesterday.
