The Leveson Enquiry

The Leveson Enquiry, led by judge Sir Brian Leveson started in 2011 after it was discovered that journalists at the news of the World hired rogue private investigators to hack the phone of murdered school girl Millie Dowler as well as many high-profile celebrities in an attempt to obtain information for news articles.

The enquiry looked at the ethics and practices of the UK media and our Head of operations was invited to speak about how the investigation industry handles requests for phone hacking and how the industry desperately needs regulation at this crucial time.

Insight Investigations had no association with the investigators who performed these illegal hacks and was invited by Sir Brian Leveson to offer expert opinion on the behaviour and practices of the industry as whole.
