""It is distressing to realise - having seen the evidence and disclosure provided by Associated - that, like other newspapers, Associated targeted me as well as others using unlawful means and the use of private investigators for the purposes of their own profit. "The fact that they have remained completely unapologetic for this illegal behaviour is also distressing.""
"Around that time, Miskiw was in communication with Chris Anderson of the Mail on Sunday, David Sherborne - who is representing the claimants - said in a written submission, and that a private investigator called Glenn Mulcaire had obtained information about Sir Simon's relationship with someone called HJK. Sherborne said the Mail on Sunday sought to photograph HJK and Sir Simon to "help stand up" the story, and that Mulcaire located HJK for this purpose."
Sir Simon Hughes said he felt distressed after evidence and disclosure allegedly showed Associated Newspapers Limited targeted him using unlawful means and private investigators for profit. He is one of seven high-profile claimants, including Prince Harry, Sir Elton John, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Liz Hurley and Sadie Frost, alleging unlawful information gathering and voicemail interception. Associated Newspapers denies wrongdoing and contends the claims are time-barred. Sir Simon's claim concerns an alleged incident involving a Mail on Sunday journalist rather than published articles. Allegations specify that Greg Miskiw coordinated targeting in April 2006, that Miskiw communicated with Chris Anderson, and that private investigator Glenn Mulcaire located an individual called HJK.
