David Cameron's former spin doctor Andy Coulson is facing charges linked to alleged bribery to get information that included contact details for members of the royal family.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced yesterday five people, including Coulson and former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks, are accused as part of the investigation into alleged corrupt payments to public officials.
Coulson and former News of the World (NOTW) royal correspondent Clive Goodman are charged with conspiracy to pay for information including a royal phone directory known as the "Green Book".
