Scotland Yard’s phone-hacking squad has passed on the files of two police officers in relation to misconduct in a public office, a spokesman for the Crown Prosecution Service said on Friday.
The CPS said in a statement: "This week the CPS has received one file for charging advice involving a police officer in relation to an allegation of misconduct in public office and one file for charging advice involving a police officer in relation to an alleged offence of misconduct in a public office and other associated matters."
They refused to divulge whether the police officers were currently serving or had retired.
