Trinity Mirror Issues Phone Hacking Apology
Trinity Mirror, owner of the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People, has issued a public apology "to all its victims of phone hacking".
A statement published by the Daily Mirror, stated: "Some years ago voice-mails left on certain people's phones were unlawfully accessed. And in many cases the information obtained was used in stories in our national newspapers.
"Such behaviour represented an unwarranted and unacceptable intrusion into people's private lives.
"It was unlawful and should never have happened, and fell far below the standards our readers expect and deserve.
"We are taking this opportunity to give every victim a sincere and unreserved apology for what happened.
"We recognise that our actions will have caused them distress for which we are truly sorry.
"Our newspapers have a long and proud history of holding those in power to account. As such, it is only right we are held to account ourselves.
"Such behaviour has long since been banished from Trinity Mirror's business and we are committed to ensuring it will not happen again."
