Phone-hacking trial shown Glenn Mulcaire's investigation whiteboards


Glenn Mulcaire's private investigation wall featuring diagrams, lists of telephone numbers, taskings and names of people including Rebekah Wade and tennis player Venus Williams was shown to the jury at the hacking trial on Thursday.
The jury were shown five large and small whiteboards seized from the premises used by Mulcaire when he was arrested on phone-hacking related charges in 2006.
The largest of the whiteboards shown to the jury had the letters "s" "o" "e" in the middle of a clock-style diagram with the words "mice, money, ideology, compromise, ego, binology" written in "spokes" leading from the centre. The board also featured the words "Gordon, sop, Rayner, Sky"
The first whiteboard featured the word "Swizz Cottage", which detective sergeant James Guest told the jury was "Vodafone's password of the week" followed by the words O2 and Venus Williams.
Several of the boards featured a clock-like diagram, the jury was told by Guest. One had the word "services" in the centre with the words "Charles Rae meeting", a reference to the Sun's former royal editor, and the name "Rebekah Wade" (Rebekah Brooks's maiden name) at 1pm.
Mulcaire had also used the boards as an aide memoire. "Voda: Avoid Damian Team 3", he wrote on the third one shown to the jury.
One board listed footballers David Ginola and Tony Adams, and the words "Bulger Info". On Wednesday the jury were told that Mulcaire, who was paid around £100,000 a year by the News of the World, had been paid £13,500 in relation to inquiries about toddler James Bulger's killers in 2001, the year they were released on licence.
The whiteboards kept by Mulcaire were in addition to the 8,000 pages of notes and the audio recordings of voicemails recovered by police in his home.
Mulcaire, who was convicted of phone-hacking related charges in 2006, has pleaded guilty to another batch of related offences in relation to the 2013 trial.
