Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown Tuesday accused media magnate Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers of having “links with criminals” as he spoke to the BBC about allegations the Sunday Times illegally obtained private information about him, CNN reported. Brown accused the paper of getting his bank details, saying he was “genuinely shocked” by its methods. The allegations widen the scandal that brought down Britain’s best-selling newspaper, the News of the World, to other newspapers also owned by Murdoch’s News International media group.
