Operation Tuleta
Operation Tuleta is a Metropolitan Police investigation begun in June 2011 to consider potential prosecutions for matters such as computer hacking which fell outside the terms of the phone hacking investigation, Operation Weeting.[1]
The operation was expanded into a full inquiry on 29 July 2011.[2]
After the Times hacking of the police blogger 'Nightjack' was exposed at the Leveson Inquiry in February 2012, Operation Tuleta began investigating the episode.[3]
in the spring of 2012, the operation began to investigate the downloading of data from stolen mobile phones. They arrested three Sun journalists, including chief foreign correspondent Nick Parker and reporter Rhodri Philips.[4]
By July 2012, Tuleta was examining 101 separate allegations of data intrustion. More than 50 electronic devices being examined included the computers of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, former cabinet minister Peter Hain and Derek Draper.[5]
