Former Head of Security for News International, Hanna stood trial alongside Rebekah Brooks, Andy Coulson et al. Though the jury brought in a Not Guilty verdict against Hanna, he was promptly sacked by News International. Although unlike Brooks, he didn’t receive a £16m severance package, nor was he re-employed in pretty much the same role after a couple of years. In fact he found himself completely unemployable due to the stigma of being associated with the Brooks trial.

So what did Hanna do? He took News International to an employment tribunal (the case was due to be heard next month) and then last month posted an extraordinary video on YouTube claiming that he knew all the “shocking secrets” of News International which he promised to reveal.

Surprise surprise, Hanna has been bought off by Murdoch – in the last two days he’s dropped the employment tribunal claim and tweeted to say that he now understands all the allegations he intended to make are false and is happy that the matter has been resolved amicably. Once again Murdoch escapes by the skin of his teeth – corporate charges against Murdoch are a whisker away and could have been precipitated by Hanna’s revelations. Impending corporate charges in the UK could easily have brought Murdoch’s American empire crashing down too and the cunt Hanna should be held personally liable for propping up the corrupt Aussie dwarf’s global empire.
