A Sun reporter told a court he felt justified paying a police officer for information because Rupert Murdoch's top executive, Rebekah Brooks, made it clear "News International pays public officials."
Jamie Pyatt said he had watched a TV news report of Rebekah Brooks, then Sun editor, telling a Commons select committee in 2003: "We have paid police officers for information in the past."
