London: British Police on Monday bailed Rebekah Brooks, the former head of media mogul Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper wing, following her arrest over the phone-hacking scandal, her spokesman said.
"I can confirm that she (Brooks) was released earlier this evening and has been bailed until late October," her spokesman David Wilson told AFP.
Scotland Yard earlier said it had arrested a 43-year-old woman in connection with allegations of corruption and phone hacking.
"At approximately midnight, the woman was bailed to return to a London police station on a date in late October," added the police statement.
Brooks was arrested at around midday (1100 GMT) Sunday and questioned for 12 hours over claims she conspired to intercept communications and that the News of the World newspaper, of which she was editor, paid police for stories.
