James Murdoch could be arrested after 'bombshell' emails

James Murdoch could be questioned by police in their News of the World phone hacking inquiry, it has been reported.

The News International chief, who has already been grilled by the Commons Culture Committee twice, may be interviewed following the emergence of "bombshell" emails, according to the Daily Mail.

A police source believes that the evidence may take the investigation to "the next level".

Murdoch, who recently refused to rule out The Sun's potential closure, has also come under increased pressure to quit Sky over his alleged involvement in the scandal.

Ex-Sun and News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks could also be quizzed, the report claims.
