Grant förlikar med The Sun efter påstådda inbrottsförsök
Skådespelaren Hugh Grant har förlikat med tidningen The Suns ägare efter anklagelser om att tabloiden anlitat privatdetektiver för att avlyssna hans telefon och bryta sig in i hans hus. Det framgår av domstolsdokument, skriver brittiska medier.
Den 63-årige skådespelaren har precis som prins Harry stämt News Group Newspapers (NGN) för att information samlats in på otillåtna sätt. Fallet skulle upp i domstol i januari, men förlikas nu alltså.
NGN har förlikat i över 1 000 liknande fall, men har aldrig medgivit något ansvar, skriver Reuters. Ägarbolaget har återkommande förnekat att The Suns personal gjort något fel.
