Neil Wallis “devastated” after being charged

July 31, 2014

Phil Smith’s client, Neil Wallis, has spoken out regarding his devastation following being charged with conspiring to hack mobile phones.  In a full article, the Independent newspaper traces the history of Mr Wallis being arrested, being on police bail for nearly two years before being told that no further action would be taken.  Believing that that was the end of the matter, he was then re-arrested and subsequently charged with what he describes, in a statement, as “swingeing, indiscriminate charge[s]”.  The full article can be read at http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/news-of-the-world-charges-former-deputy-editor-neil-wallis-devastated-by-hacking-allegation-9637811.html
