If you felt a small earthquake just now, it was the tectonic plates of press and power moving in the UK. Rebekah Brooks, who resigned just Friday as chief executive of News International, the UK publishing unit of News Corp. (NSDQ: NWS), was arrested today by Scotland Yard in a pre-arranged move. The possible charges, according to multiple reports: suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications & corruption allegations. The BBC reports plans for the arrest were made after her resignation and we have confirmed that the decision for Brooks to leave was made without News Corp knowing she was about to be arrested.
